Mental health isn’t just an urban concern

While mental well-being discussions are growing in Kathmandu, communities across Nepal still suffer in silence.

In recent years, conversations around mental health have grown, especially after the 2015 earthquake and the Covid-19 outbreak. People are starting to talk about emotional well-being, trauma, stress, and anxiety. This shift is significant and necessary for a society like Nepal’s, where such topics are still considered taboo.
