Rights advocates warn of increasing mental health issues among adolescents

The rising prevalence of mental health issues among adolescents signals a looming social crisis for the country.

Children’s rights advocate, Consolata Bahati, has called for unified efforts from government agencies, civil society, religious organisations, and communities to address the issue.

Bahati emphasised the importance of raising awareness about the dangers of mental illness in young people, stressing that early intervention is crucial to ensure timely medical care and support for affected individuals. “There are numerous cases where parents and communities hide children with mental health issues to protect family reputation. However, with widespread awareness campaigns, mental health interventions can play a crucial role in promoting early detection and prevention,” said Bahati.

She stressed the need for society to address the growing wealth disparities that trap adolescents and young people in a cycle of poverty and economic hardship, placing immense pressure on their mental well-being.

Bahati further explained that reducing poverty levels in communities would likely lead to a decrease in mental health problems among adolescents. Poverty and unemployment, she noted, cause significant stress and contribute to rising rates of mental health issues such as depression and anxiety.

Bahati, who is the director of The Bliss Organisation, a community-based group focused on preventing violence against children and gender-based violence, revealed how the Covid-19 pandemic had devastated local communities, lowering incomes and pushing many into deep poverty.

Speaking at a training workshop for community leaders on identifying mental health issues among adolescents, Bahati highlighted that poverty was exacerbating mental health challenges, which in turn was straining family relationships and household dynamics. “Household violence, along with factors, such as limited access to quality education, healthcare, and a supportive environment, further intensifies the mental health struggles faced by adolescents,” Bahati explained.

“The consequences of mental health disorders among adolescents and youth are devastating, with many developing suicidal thoughts as a result,” she added.

Despite the government’s formulation of the Kenya Mental Health Policy (2015-2030), Bahati noted that many Kenyans remain unaware of its provisions.

“We urge that mental health be recognised as an essential part of young people’s well-being. We need to see reforms in mental health practices that provide early interventions and secure treatment for vulnerable young individuals,” Bahati stated.

Bahati pointed out that many cases of violence against children are being carried out by parents, relatives, and caregivers, those who should be protecting them.
