Health authorities in Egypt have launched a new national suicide prevention campaign aimed at addressing the growing mental health challenges among young people.
The initiative, supported by local health organizations and university counseling centers, seeks to raise awareness about depression, anxiety, and suicidal thoughts among students and unemployed graduates.
Psychologists involved in the campaign say many young Egyptians face intense pressure from unemployment, rising living costs, and family expectations, which can lead to emotional distress.
The program will introduce mental health hotlines, counseling services in universities, and public awareness campaigns designed to encourage people to seek professional help without fear of stigma.
Mental health advocates say the campaign represents a significant step toward addressing the country’s growing psychological health concerns.
