Article Synopsis
- Mental health issues like depression, anxiety, and stress are significant public health problems globally, with a community-based study in Ghana revealing that over half of participants experienced at least one of these issues.
- The study found that 25.2% had depression, 53.3% had anxiety, and 9.7% had stress, with 8.3% experiencing all three conditions simultaneously.
- Key predictors of mental health challenges included education and income levels; adults with higher education were significantly less likely to suffer from these conditions, highlighting the need for better mental health strategies to meet Sustainable Development Goals.
