KARACHI:
The spectre of mental health crisis has been haunting the world for decades. Various mental health problems such as depression, anxiety and schizophrenia have become common among people around the world. There are numerous causes behind such an abysmal condition of the world. Foremost among them are: the malice of poverty, overuse of social media, and surge in crime rate. Moreover, escalation in wars, including those in Palestine and Ukraine, has impacted people’s mental health. Although the world is trying its best to tackle this crisis, there is no progress due several challenges like limited access to mental health hospitals and insufficient mental healthcare professionals. However, if certain measures are taken, like spreading awareness regarding mental health issues , increasing mental health hospitals and collaborating with the international organisation to sustain peace, this phantom can be exorcised.
