In this episode, we host Dima Ayass, a certified clinical psychologist and CBT therapist, to examine the current state of mental health in Lebanon and how years of overlapping crises continue to shape psychological wellbeing.
From the long-term impact of the Beirut Port Blast to rising levels of anxiety and depression, the conversation explores how sustained instability is affecting individuals and communities, with a particular focus on youth and women. The discussion also reflects on Enmaeya’s Mental Health in Lebanon Status Report. Drawing on her daily clinical practice, Dima breaks down the most common mental health disorders currently observed in Lebanon and explains why early awareness, youth-centered support, and accessible digital mental health education are more critical than ever.
This episode offers both clinical insight and grounded reflection on the realities of mental health in times of prolonged crisis.
