The government must prioritise mental health and the psychological support needs of vulnerable groups in the country as part of the COVID-19 alleviation plan, the Chief Executive Officer of the Mental Health Authority (MHA), Professor Akwasi Osei, has said.
He said there had been some mental health challenges associated with the pandemic as a result of the traumatic experiences of the sudden loss of lives and livelihoods within families and communities, hence the need to pay more attention to the mental and psychological needs of people affected by the disease in the country.
