Depression: The Silent Struggle Among Ghanaian Youth.

Depression is increasingly affecting young people in Ghana, creating a silent yet devastating mental health crisis. Dr. David Rex Orgen highlights that this condition is misunderstood and stigmatized in Ghana, leaving many young individuals without the support they need.Symptoms like persistent sadness, withdrawal, and poor academic performance are common but often overlooked. Factors such as academic pressure, unemployment, family issues, and social media pressures exacerbate the issue. Ghana's mental health infrastructure remains underfunded, with only 18 psychiatrists for a population of 30 million.Addressing this issue requires collaboration.

By reducing stigma and increasing awareness, Ghana can provide its youth the support needed to overcome this silent epidemic.
