Bridging the Gap: Mental Health in Rural Nepal

Access to mental health services in rural Nepal remains limited due to geographic and financial barriers. Many villagers endure untreated depression, anxiety, and PTSD. Telepsychiatry and mobile mental health camps can bridge this gap, but more trained professionals are needed. Community leaders and schools should also be educated to identify early warning signs. By decentralizing mental health resources and empowering local networks, we can ensure equitable care for all Nepalese, regardless of location.
