Understanding this quote

The sentence portrays mentally ill people as facing two burdens: the illness itself and the added misfortune of being born in the speaker’s country. Calling their birthplace a “misfortune” makes a severe judgment about the country, suggesting that its conditions add to their suffering rather than offering relief.
