In this episode of Meeras with Pirzada Shakir, consultant psychiatrist Dr. Ajaz Ahmed Suhaff speaks about the evolving mental health landscape in Kashmir, touching on anxiety, depression, addiction, and the long-term psychological impact of conflict.

From the growing stress among youth to the stigma around seeking help, the conversation explores how social realities, family structures, and modern lifestyles are shaping mental well-being. Dr Suhaff also addresses sensitive issues like trauma and substance abuse, while outlining what support systems exist—and where gaps remain.

The discussion looks at practical ways to respond, including the role of families, schools, and policymakers in building a more supportive environment around mental health.
