We hosted Dima Ayass, certified clinical psychologist, to discuss the state of mental health in Lebanon today.
From the lasting impact of the Beirut Blast to rising anxiety and depression, we explored how years of crisis are shaping psychological wellbeing, especially among youth and women. The conversation also reflects on Enmaeya’s upcoming Mental Health in Lebanon Status Report, the shortage of mental health professionals, and the growing visibility of mental health across the Arab world.
Drawing from her daily clinical practice, Dima breaks down the most common mental health disorders seen in Lebanon and highlights why early awareness, youth-focused support, and digital mental health education are more important than ever.
