As such, the solution cuts across sectors,” he said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He explained that although government policies may recognise the importance of mental health, young people are more concerned about whether they can access professional counselling and afford the services available to them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">“A young person does not experience documents or policies; they experience counselling, health care professionals, whether care is affordable. Accessing mental health services could be very demanding because of cost. Sometimes, they don’t want to speak to their parents, but costs of speaking to professionals is constraining,” he said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The LASUTH professor described youth mental health as a social problem requiring coordinated action from the government, healthcare professionals, families and educational institutions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">“Youth mental health is a social problem,” he said, adding that mental health challenges that are not recognised and treated early can interfere with the personal lives of those affected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To address the challenge, Atilola called for the integration of mental health services into primary healthcare, noting that this would help bring affordable care closer to young people in their communities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He also identified schools and universities as critical settings for mental health promotion, urging educational institutions to incorporate mental health education into their curricula and provide counselling services for students.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to him, the curricula of many secondary schools focus on physical health, making it necessary to give greater attention to mental well-being, early identification and intervention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Atilola further called for improved identification of people at risk of mental health challenges, stronger action against substance abuse and efforts to eliminate the stigma associated with seeking professional help.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He urged the government to provide adequate funding for existing mental health policies and encouraged healthcare professionals to approach people experiencing mental health challenges with empathy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">“I make a call to government: fund the policy you have developed; to professionals: listen before you label, treat the person not only the diagnosis. To parents: create home where your children can speak without fear,” he said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He also appealed to the public and the media to handle reports involving mental health tragedies responsibly, warning against turning personal suffering into online content or publishing graphic details of suicide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">“When tragedy happens, don’t turn it to content; putting out a graphic detail to how someone took their own life cannot be a content,” Atilola said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He stressed that improving youth mental health outcomes would require a collective commitment to affordable care, early intervention and supportive environments where young people can seek help without fear, stigma or financial barriers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The post \u003Ca

Sadly, this is a challenge being treated with levity in Nigeria. Observed on 10th October every year, the 2026 official theme announced by the World Federation for Mental Health is “Lived experiences heard: real voices, real change.” The primary focus is to highlight the importance of listening to people who share personal experiences that could help drive policy change, reduce stigma, and improve care systems.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp> With only nine federal neuropsychiatric hospitals in the country, serious budget constraints and the exodus of many experts in the field who seek greener pastures abroad, it comes as no surprise that mental illness is on the rampage in Nigeria.  For years, the Association of Psychiatrists in Nigeria (APN) has been raising the alarm that no fewer than 60 million Nigerians live with one form of mental disorder or the other. More unfortunate is that of these numbers, about 90 per cent have been reported not to have access to appropriate mental care. But the number of Nigerians suffering from one mental illness or the other – from the mild to the severe – is likely to grow because there is no commensurate plan in place to address it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp> On 5th January 2023, the late President Muhammadu Buhari signed the National Mental Health Bill 2021 into law. The act repealed the Lunacy Act of 1958 which considered mental illness as an embarrassment and a disturbance to the society and therefore recommends that people with such health conditions be kept away in asylum without specific care. The new Act prohibits forced treatment, seclusion, or restraint without proper safeguards and allows patients to help create their medical plans. But to successfully address the challenge, the authorities must do more to address the issue of stigma while an awareness campaign is also important for the prevention of social habits that are detrimental to mental health, especially among young people.  \u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp> As many experts have repeatedly said, mental illness is nothing to be ashamed of. Like diabetes and heart disease, it is a medical condition which is treatable. Many people with mental health illness return to a productive and fulfilling life after promptly seeking help. But the country is not doing enough to tackle this public health emergency, and it is responsible for the growing cases of suicides. Stemming the tide requires a multi-sectoral and multi-disciplinary approach involving various government ministries, agencies, and departments, (MDAs) especially that of health, labour and employment, and social services.   \u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>According to health professionals, mental health includes the emotional, psychological, and social well-being of people, and they affect the way such individuals think, feel, and behave. There are more than 200 classified forms of mental illness, but the more common disorders are depression, bipolar disorder, dementia, schizophrenia, and anxiety disorders. They attribute the cause of mental illness to three factors: biological, which include genes or brain chemistry; life experiences, such as trauma or abuse, and family history.  \u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp> Considering that mental disorder is becoming a growing epidemic in the country, we encourage authorities at both federal and the states to, as a matter of urgency, create a statutory budget line for mental health in the annual budgetary allocation, as this would ensure funding for the public health issue is protected. This fund should be used for the integration of mental care into primary health across local governments in the country, as well as to ensure that every general hospital has a department for mental health with accompanying psychiatrists, psychiatric nurses and psychologists running the department.\u003C\u002Fp>\n","mental-health-and-public-awareness",{"id":60,"createdAt":61,"updatedAt":62,"name":63,"slug":64},[66,64,1939,1940],"public","awareness","https:\u002F\u002Fglobal.ariseplay.com\u002Famg\u002Fwww.thisdaylive.com\u002Fuploads\u002FMENTAL-health.png",{"id":1943,"createdAt":1944,"updatedAt":1945,"name":1946,"image":1947,"slug":1948},"676b27a5-8a43-458d-91ba-45c07367106b","2026-03-26T09:35:16.600Z","2026-08-13T13:04:20.834Z","This Day","https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.oneclickafrica.com\u002Ffeed\u002F9fa91fe1-7788-42ef-8d40-5d5ef6e5261e.png","this-day","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.thisdaylive.com\u002F2026\u002F10\u002F09\u002Fmental-health-and-public-awareness\u002F",{"status_code":4,"message":74,"data":1951},[1952,1953,1954,1955,1956,1957,1958,1959,1960,1961,1962,1963,1964,1965,1966,1967,1968,1969,1970,1971],"A’Court dismisses El-Rufai’s bail appeal","Olympic Qualifiers: Alozie, Kanu fire Super Falcons to victory over Comoros","الشاعر السوداني عفيف إسماعيل: بالكتابة أحاول التعافي والنجاة","إصابة 6 أشخاص في قصف بمسيّرات على الأبيض","Oyedele Clarifies, Says 𝐍𝐍𝐏𝐂 D𝐢𝐬𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐭, Commercial Decision, N𝐨𝐭 S𝐮𝐛𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐲","Israel Trains Nigerian Health Workers on Maternal Emergency Care","2027: Bende monarchs reaffirm zoning pact, Kalu’s third-term bid faces hurdle","Abia voters fume as INEC staff leave PVC centres","2027: Kalu’s third-term bid faces zoning dispute","‘Tinubu has removed the corruption’ —  Oyedele faults Obi’s subsidy plan","Naira depreciates to N1,363\u002F$ in parallel market","Late filing stalls SERAP’s appeal against N101m defamation judgment","30 days can’t erase three years of hardship, Atiku tells Tinubu","FG courts investors, targets accelerated metering, enhanced gas supply","Why Sujimoto’s shift to fractional ownership matters for Lagos hospitality","Gov’s family awards N100m scholarships to 831 indigent students in Ogun","Euromatch NPFL: Katsina United floor Enyimba in six-goal thriller","جنوب كردفان: نهب مسلح يستهدف 11 مواطناً قادمين من مناطق الذهب","عاصفة الانهيار التنظيمي في الحركة الاسلامية تتسارع: تجميد عمر الفاروق “الجنرال” لنشاطه واستقالة “شبو” يُعريان أزمة الحرس القديم","Obi living in denial over 2023 poll – APC campaign council"]
