President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi’s Mental Health adviser and psychiatrist Ahmed Okasha expressed his dissatisfaction with the name of actor Ramez Galal’s prank new program this year, “Ramez is a psychopath,” describing it as an insult to people with mental illness. This is an uncreative and uncivilized act.”According to Okasha, one out of every four people in the world suffers from a mental illness. Psychiatric patients are the same as the normal patients, their symptoms are simply internal rather than external, he said. Galal is preparing a new prank program entitled “Ramez Mareed Nafsy” (Ramez is a Psychopath), which will be aired on MBC Masr, during Ramadan. Galal has presented many prank programs that were subject to criticism over the years, including: “Ramez Qalb al-Asad” (Ramez the Lion’s Heart), “Ramez Taalab al-Saharaa” (Ramez the Desert Fox), “Ramez Ankh Amun,” “Ramez Beyelaab bel Nar” (Ramez Plays with Fire), “Ramez Taht al-Sefr” (Ramez Subzero), and “Ramez fel Shallal” (Ramez in the Waterfall), and “Ramez Qersh al-Bahr” (Ramez the Sea Shark).
