Research suggests that adolescents with visual impairments experience anxiety at a higher rate than their sighted peers. Implementing supports like Braille system help in mobility, accomplishing day-to-day tasks which can ease anxiety & prevent it from becoming a barrier.

If you're a parent, caregiver or teacher, it's important to recognize the signs and know what to look for.

@tahakanizibwa We wouldn't have said it any better. Mental health problems can affect anyone, and it's very important to seek support when needed. You can visit our website https://t.co/al3l9YKQ0N to learn more about some of the common mental health conditions

[Ministry of Health- Uganda @MinofHealthUG]

There is no single cause of mental illness but rather a combination of factors.

It is important to get professional help when you are not okay, or talk to someone you trust.

[Thomas Tayebwa @Thomas_Tayebwa]

Depression, anxiety, stress, and other mental health-related issues must be a cause for concern for all of us. PGA golfer Grayson Murray took his own life yesterday after withdrawing from the Charles Schwab Challenge, having played 16 holes of round 2. Let's give mental illness the attention it deserves; we are all potential victims.

Rest in Peace Murray.
