In Zimbabwe, public psychiatric institutions are grappling with recurring shortages of essential medication used to treat schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and severe depression.
At Parirenyatwa Group of Hospitals, healthcare workers report inconsistent supplies of antipsychotic and mood-stabilizing drugs. Families of patients say they are often forced to purchase medication privately — an expense many cannot afford amid ongoing economic challenges.
Mental health professionals warn that treatment interruptions increase relapse rates and may lead to homelessness or incarceration for untreated patients.
Civil society groups are calling on the government to prioritize mental health funding in the national budget, noting that Zimbabwe has fewer than 20 practicing psychiatrists serving a population of over 15 million.
