The current state of Afghanistan has deprived the basic human needs of children. The lack of freedom leaves their voices unheard, causing detrimental effects on their mental health. Mental illnesses such as post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety, and depression are prevalent in Afghanistan, causing severe negative outcomes among children. Promotion of mental health services, psychological training, awareness campaigns, acceptance of Afghan refugees, and initiatives to support re-connecting with loved ones, are among the many recommended measures needed to manage this alarming situation. This requires an immediate action plan from government and public health officials to mitigate this impending catastrophe.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1017\/gmh.2022.43","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,8,18]],"date-time":"2022-08-18T07:35:13Z","timestamp":1660808113000},"page":"397-400","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1017\/policypage","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["Mental health implications on Afghan children: an impending catastrophe"],"prefix":"10.1017","volume":"9","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2077-9835","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Khulud","family":"Qamar","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6465-4570","authenticated-orcid":false,"family":"Priya","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2455-5321","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Aiman","family":"Rija","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7066-4150","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Laiba Imran","family":"Vohra","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0701-7628","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Faisal A.","family":"Nawaz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6554-7619","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mohammad Yasir","family":"Essar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"56","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,8,18]]},"reference":[{"key":"S2054425122000437_ref31","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.chiabu.2019.104146"},{"key":"S2054425122000437_ref1","unstructured":"Afghanistan: Many Afghan children are afraid to go outside, New survey by Save the Children finds (2019, November 19) https:\/\/reliefweb.int\/report\/afghanistan\/many-afghan-children-are-afraid-go-outside-new-survey-save-children-finds."},{"key":"S2054425122000437_ref16","article-title":"Effectiveness of non-medical health worker-led counselling on psychological distress: a randomized controlled trial in rural Nepal","volume":"6","author":"Markkula","year":"2019","journal-title":"Global Mental Health"},{"key":"S2054425122000437_ref33","unstructured":"War Child (n.d.)
