  • TED Fellow Tom Osborn wants more young people to have access to the mental health support they need. With the Shamiri Institute, he and his team are training 18- to 22-year-olds to deliver evidence-based mental health care to their peers in Kenya -- which has only two psychiatrists for every million people. Hear how their community-first, youth-oriented model could become a template to help kids across the world lead successful, independent lives.

    If the education system is a primary root for the stress it may be more efficient to address that issue, and solve the problem from its root. There's nothing wrong with the suggestion of treating the problem with more doctors, but I think the old adage applies here, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

      Absolutely, prevention is necessary and so integral. However, if the problem already exists and is getting worse, then the need to address is directly (through interventions like this) are equally as important. For instance, giving food to the hungry won’t solve poverty, but it’s still needed in order for people to live. We can do both!

    One thing that is not mentioned much with regard to dealing with mental health issues is faith... I see pple try everything under the sun and still not find relief or healing but not faith.
    Faith isn't viewed very favorably today due to pple of certain faiths not doing a good job exemplifying their faith.. but it helped me more than everything else I tried for severe mental illness 🙂

    It's very simple, get them off social media. I'm an older person who spent a few weeks on social media in 2017 at the behest of friend who thought it was a good way to stay in touch and I had to get off it as I've never seen such poison in my entire life, I was bullied as a teen at school 45 years go and it was nothing like this, total strangers just being nasty to you for the sake of it. Horrible.

    I'd be much more comfortable if our doctors and lawyers didn't have to work hard for letter grades. Instead they should be granted professional status based on their desire to help society. Also they should be paid equally, not based on the quality of their work. This would alleviate the stress of the job and result in a healthy equitable utopia for all.

      Amazingly the video never says that, touches some other sources of depression and stress like the need to be amazing at school to have value (see 50% of students having stress and/or depression) AND what you said still is probably true, colonial past causes some socio-economical anomalies to be integral part of the system that settles down and those probably put a lot of people in positions where they undergo a lot of stress and hopelessness (see actually struggling to survive, something that by the tone of your comment you never had or will have to experience)

      Not everyone wants to adopt the concept of the christian Jesus into their lives as pillars for their mental health. Im sure you come from a good place, but in order to help the most people you must speak from a place that everyone can relate to. Not everyone can relate to Christian/biblical teachings. In fact many people disagree with biblical teachings. Of course, there are many messages in the bible that are incredibly wise and that would be beneficial for anyone, so its best to speak from the universally wise principles that the bible advocates fir, rather than telling people to invest into an individual as their lord and savior.
