mother has dreamed of becoming a migrant worker working in Singapore, to meet
the family's daily needs, but what's the problem, my mother was deported back
to her homeland without severance pay, so this condition made her depressed until In 2010 we had referred to Amino Gondo Hutomo Hospital Semarang, after
hospitalization the condition was good but reluctant to take medicine and did
not want to control, the symptoms that appeared were laughing alone, angry, if
leaving the house going far, forgetting the way home, disturbing residents, "said Suwarti’s son, Ryan (39th).
