Many people in Afghanistan are suffering from psychological distress and severe mental health problems, according to the United Nations and psychologists working in the country. They say Afghan women are particularly badly affected.
Afghanistan saw four decades of war and dislocation before the Taliban takeover in 2021. Since then the country has faced economic crisis while its new Islamist rulers have banned women from secondary and university education and imposed many other restrictions on their lives.
One recent report by the Afghanistan Centre for Epidemiological Studies suggested that two-thirds of Afghan adolescents had reported symptoms of depression. The UN has warned of “widespread mental health issues and escalating accounts of suicides”.
Huw Edwards presents BBC News at Ten reporting by Yogita Limaye who has been speaking to women in Afghanistan about the struggles they face.

The world, should open the doors and allow all women and children to leave this oppressive hell hole .
We must help the women to leave.let the men, live by themselves.
I wonder how the men of that country would cope if they had to hide away, no education, no parks to walk in and not having freedom to go out alone and the list goes on. Afghan men could stand up and fight for the women but they just don't give a shit. And the outside world will permit Afghanistan cricket team to travel and play abroad whilst 50% of the population are enslaved. It wasnt ok for S.Afica so why is the world ignoring this, because men don't really give a flying feck
Muslims deserve this😆😆😆😆
A problem created by the West. Firstly by the impact of their war in the Country. Then when they walked away having created a different country with greater Freedoms for women. Freedoms that were going to be immediately removed when the Taliban took over again. It’s not easy to go back to being property to be traded.

USA should have never leaved those free Womans in the hands of terrorist and abusers like the Talibans, Italy 🇮🇹

Americans really beleive that a whole country worth of women and children feel oppressed by their own husbands and fathers while desiring america to come over and rule them? Interesting!!!
😂😂😂😂I just want to laugh at BBC, because i dont trust this news
They should remain naked, it will help her mentally fresh! Gionist bbc, carry on
Feminists should stop.protesting in Europe and America and go to Afghanistan to protest. Why are these feminists protesting in Europe. Go to Afghanistan if you really care about women rights. Hurry up get on a plane.
King of Glory, GOD of Heaven and Earth, have mercy on Afghanistan and open their Hearts to receive the Lord Jesus Christ. Have mercy Father I pray in the name of my Lord Yeshua, Amen
Psychology can't help the Afghans, only GOD can make it right for them. Pray to the Most High for mercy in Jesus name!
I don’t believe interviews done by legacy media. Full of BS.
If your a girl you are a prisoner and only make babies feed whom you live with and sweep and there is no real love for life.
“mental health” is a westernized theory to help people “cope” and blame their actions and impulses on how they feel… its not everywhere around the world because people aren’t as soft as some…
More zionist lies by these western jewish serving p*gs
God will deliver justice to all zionist western criminals, all the enemies of God. Amen
Jesus Christ give warning to Humanity about False Prophet Mohammed, who is the enemy of Humanity…!!! Holy Bible (Mathew 7:15; Luke 6: 43 – 44)
According to Holy Bible (Book of Revelation), On the second coming of Jesus Christ, he will send False Prophet, Animal and Old Serpent (Sathan – Devil) to Hell…!!!
Holy Bible (Revelation 19:20; Revelation 20:10) The Animal symbolically mentioned in the "Book of Revelation" is Islam, which is behaving like a Wild Animal which will attack and kill people who do not believing in it…!!!
The Old Serpent (Sathan – Devil) which is symbolically mentioned in the "Book of Revelation" is Devil who is hiding in Islam, who deceives False Prophet Mohammed to commit crime against Humanity in different ways…!!! In the 21st Century peoples (Humans) are suffering in different ways especially in Muslim majority Countries…!!!
New muslims who convert to islam must see this video and how muslims and islam treat women
So sorry this is happening. My heart goes out to all who are suffering out there. 🙏🏾
Everything is going very well in Afghanistan, the western media should not do double-minded politics, the western forces have already shed a lot of blood for the Muslims of Afghanistan.
It is the moral duty of the whole world to have solidarity with Afghanistan especially with Afghan people who have suffered for the past two centuries through no fault of their own. This barbaric terrorist Taliban regime needs to be vehemently opposed for taking power through a military coup, persecuting women and committing crime against humanity by banning women from attending education that is second to none on the planet. The entire media of the world should continuously promote solidarity with the people of Afghanistan, but unfortunately the world media does not give a shit which is very disgusting. #SolidarityWithAfghanPeople
Thankgod i am in the most liberal religion of this world…."HINDUISM"…. Education is fruitless without educated women…. This may be okay for talibanis now but in long term this will be the curse to society….
I just hope women living over there come united against this repression…
Praying for this girls.. May god recover all their issues .. hope they can continue their education very soon..
But after a few days Waraqa died and the Divine Inspiration was also paused for a while and the Prophet (ﷺ) became so sad as we have heard that he intended several times to throw himself from the tops of high mountains.
