Africa-Press – Malawi. <\/strong><\/span>A Mzuzu-based non-governmental organization, Youth Mental Health Warrior (YMHW), has organized a mental health summit to address the various mental health issues in Malawi. The event will be held on Monday, 17th October, 2022 at Chenda Hall in Mzuzu.<\/p>\n

According to YMHW Executive Director, Buxton Emmanuel, the event will bring together a range of professionals from across the spectrum of mental health services to share their knowledge.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will discuss a lot of issues concerning mental health. We are hopeful that people will benefit a lot from this summit,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThose who have registered are the ones to attend the event,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Commenting on the development, Mental Health Expert, Precious Makiyi, said the summit has come at the right time as the country is experiencing a surge in mental health cases. According him, mental health issues mainly affect young people, which is a threat to the country\u2019s development.<\/p>\n

\u201cIndividuals living with serious mental illness face an increased risk of having chronic medical conditions hence they cannot make notable development in the country,\u201d Makiyi said.<\/p>\n

\u201cTherefore, the summit that Youth Mental Health Warrior has organized deserves more support,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Youth Mental Health Warrior, among others, focuses on promoting youth\u2019s mental health well-being. In Malawi over the past three years, there has been a noted rise in suicide cases.<\/p>\n

Last week, Saint John of God Hospitaller Services said over the past five months it has recorded one million cases of suicide thoughts at its facilities in Lilongwe and Mzuzu.<\/p>\n
