In Morocco, King Mohammed VI recently launched a major solidarity project aimed at supporting the psychosocial rehabilitation of people living with mental and psychological disorders. The initiative, announced in October 2025, marks a significant step toward expanding specialized care beyond traditional medical settings by constructing a regional facility near Casablanca dedicated to rehabilitation and community support. �
This project comes amid rising concerns over mental health needs in the country. According to recent reports, Moroccan youth are experiencing a sharp rise in addiction and psychological distress, partly linked to depression, anxiety, and stress, highlighting gaps in treatment and public awareness. �
Social rights advocates have also called for the government to accelerate reforms, expand facilities, and improve emergency psychiatric care, stressing the importance of mental health in national development.
