New Report: Into the Mental Health Services for Young People Who Use Drugs in Nepal

Mental health challenges and substance use disorders are intertwined issues that significantly impede the well-being and quality of life of young people in Nepal. The coexistence of these disorders often leads to a spectrum of physical, psychological, and emotional health issues, exacerbating the already complex landscape of mental health in the country.

The scarcity of appropriate mental health services in Nepal underscores the pressing need for research to explore the accessibility and acceptability of such services among young drug users. By investigating the levels of anxiety and depression, identifying barriers to care, elucidating participant perspectives on mental health services, and analyzing drug use patterns, this study "Accessibility and  Acceptability of Mental Health Services for Young People Who Use Drugs in Nepal" aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the challenges faced by this vulnerable population in accessing and accepting mental health services.
