How is mental illness such as bipolar/manic depression + depression in general treated in egypt?

According to someone w/ a psychology degree in egypt, acceptance and understanding of mental disorders is a fairly new phenomenon. I'd like to know what kind of treatment people w/ bipolar receive in egypt since I find those w/ the "disease" fascinating individuals (tend to be musicians and artists...and to the potential uninformed person who wants to go off on multiple personalities and schizophrenia, it's medically not the same as manic depression/bipolar. You'll find that fact pointed out in a beginning psychology text book). Also, if recognition of mental illness isn't as prevalent since the acceptance of mental sicknesses are kind of new, is there a severely high rate of suicide or other destructive behaviors? And with the lack of availability of jobs preventing ppl. from marrying at the time they would like to marry (and probably being a major factor in ppl. feeling ually repressed and possibly upset often because of it), are depression rates high? If so, what is done4 it
