Mental Health Care Service Providers in Malawi

Mental health is a state of successful performance of mental function resulting in productive activities, fulfilling relationships with other people and the ability to adapt to change and to cope with challenges.

Mental health is important at every stage of life, from childhood and adolescence through adulthood.

Your mental health is also important because it can affect your physical health.

For example, mental disorders can raise your risk for physical health problems such as stroke, type 2 diabetes, and heart disease.

The COVID-19 pandemic has led to dramatic changes in our daily lives.

Due to the increase in levels of anxiety, stress, and depression that have been brought on by the pandemic, many people’s mental health has been negatively affected and it has also created new barriers for people that were already suffering from mental illnesses and substance abuse.

In a country where mental health is often side-lined, this has seen an increase in the suicide rate in the country in recent years.

It is therefore evident that people need help when it comes to mental health and they need to rid themselves of the stigma that surrounds mental health.
