Afghanistan facing “mental health crisis” since Taliban takeover -
Many people in Afghanistan are suffering from psychological distress and severe mental health problems, according to the United Nations and psychologists working in the country. They say Afghan women are particularly badly affected.
Afghanistan saw four decades of war and dislocation before the Taliban takeover in 2021. Since then the country has faced economic crisis while its new Islamist rulers have banned women from secondary and university education and imposed many other restrictions on their lives.
One recent report by the Afghanistan Centre for Epidemiological Studies suggested that two-thirds of Afghan adolescents had reported symptoms of depression. The UN has warned of "widespread mental health issues and escalating accounts of suicides".
Huw Edwards presents BBC News at Ten reporting by Yogita Limaye who has been speaking to women in Afghanistan about the struggles they face.
