Lesotho Mental Health Organizations have joined efforts to raise awareness about issues of mental health saying youth is a depressed generation. Mrs. Nthati Phakoe from Tuna Safiri says the aim of the campaign is to raise awareness that mental health is real and can be harmful if not diagnosed at an early stage. 

Mrs. Phakoe said with regard to the way people struggle financially nowadays, many undergo depression but are not able to speak as they find this as a condition that they are not used to. 

Meanwhile Mrs. Mamelo Letsie from Bothoba-Pelo Foundation said depression is not curable hence it is important that people get diagnosed and get medication to suppress it, she said people on medication are living normal lives.
