Cases of suicides and murder have been on the rise in the recent months.
In the course of 2023, there were growing worries after 10 suicides occurred in Kiambu within a 10-month period, causing significant distress in the community.
A document published by the Directorate of Criminal Investigations in August of the previous year revealed that the predominant factors behind the majority of the incidents were unemployment, the exorbitant cost of living, and alcohol abuse.
In response, psychiatrists initiated counseling initiatives aimed at averting additional loss of lives.
Counselors, medics, and psychologists advise that you can always reach out for help when experiencing any mental health issue. Call the Kenya Red Cross toll-free hotline, 1199, for support.
