Children in Afghanistan are facing severe psychological problems

According to Amac News: In its latest report, the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) has expressed concern about the situation of Afghan children and said that nearly 40% of children in Afghanistan are facing mental illness.
In this report, it is stated that children and teenagers between the ages of 5 and 17 are suffering from severe anxiety, which is ten percent higher than the global average.
According to this report, another 15% of these children are also facing severe depression problems.
UNICEF has identified the causes of this anxiety and depression in Afghan children as poverty, migration, recurrence of natural disasters, threats and injuries caused by explosives.
The United Nations Children's Fund has once again emphasized the efforts of this institution in the field of treating Afghan children who suffer from mental illnesses.
Based on this report, UNICEF has provided psychotherapy services to about four million children in Afghanistan through 750 psychotherapy centers last year.
This international organization has said that it is going to provide health services for 3.6 million children in the country by the end of 2024.
