Mental health conditions affect approximately one in four Ugandans, yet stigma and limited access to care prevent many from seeking help. This May, we emphasize that mental health is as important as physical health in our overall wellbeing.
Conditions like depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and PTSD affect people of all ages and backgrounds.
At Case Hospital, we advocate for mental wellness through accessible counseling, psychiatric consultations, and community education. If you’re experiencing persistent sadness, extreme mood swings, lack of motivation, or unexplained fear or anger, it might be time to seek help.
How to take care of your mental health: Talk to someone you trust. Maintain social connections. Get enough sleep. Eat nutritious foods. Exercise regularly. Avoid alcohol and drugs. Most importantly, don’t hesitate to seek professional help when needed.
This month let’s commit to removing the stigma around mental illness. You are not alone, and recovery is possible. Visit our mental health clinic or call our helpline for confidential support. Prioritize your peace.
