Stressors such as shock events and indoor SHS increase the risk of psychological issues among household members. Access to recreational tools such as video players, mobiles, and the internet is beneficial in reducing psychological issues. Policy reforms prioritizing strategies to reduce psychological issues and integrating mental health services into healthcare delivery are discussed and recommended.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/02537176261461433","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,6,30]],"date-time":"2026-06-30T03:24:59Z","timestamp":1782789899000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Psychological Issues, Prevalence and Predictors in Senegal: Evidence from the Senegal Demographic and Health Survey (DHS) 2023"],"prefix":"10.1177","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5985-5498","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Vishal Ramesh","family":"Tikhute","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Pragati Creations, Navi Mumbai, Maharashtra, India."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6111-750X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sadananda","family":"Reddy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Jindal School of Psychology and Counselling (JSPC), O.P.
