Warning about psychological impact of fear about crime situation

Psychologist Shawn Clarke has suggested that residents confining themselves to their homes because of fear about the crime situation could negatively impact their mental health and has called for action to be taken to prevent this.Contending that Barbadians who are still reeling from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the rising cost of living need to get relief through social interaction, Clarke lamented that some people were now afraid to leave their homes at night.“When we look at socialising, that is developmental for society where we get to interact with our neighbours and our children get to interact with their peers and so on.

Many conceal symptoms, in an effort to blend into society or be seen as ‘normal’.There is little evidence to suggest we have evolved or matured to see mental illness no differently than physical ill-health, requiring compassionate care and effective treatment.
