PsyLeb, the trusted online platform dedicated to connecting individuals with licensed psychologists across Lebanon, today announced the release of its latest article, “The Impact of Lebanon’s Economic Crisis on Mental Health.” Authored by Mariane El Khoury, Clinical and Pathological Psychotherapist, the article provides a compelling look at how Lebanon’s prolonged financial turmoil is fueling a surge in anxiety, depression, and suicidal ideation among its most vulnerable populations.
Drawing on both clinical expertise and a deep understanding of Lebanon’s socio-economic landscape, the article delves into the multifaceted ways in which extreme economic instability—marked by soaring inflation, mass unemployment, and widespread poverty—has compounded the psychological distress of everyday life. The piece outlines the challenges faced by various groups including youth, families, healthcare workers, and refugees, and calls for urgent, sustainable interventions to bridge the widening gap in mental health care.
“Lebanon’s economic collapse is not just a financial crisis—it is a mental health emergency,” explains Mariane El Khoury.
