Mental health crises go undetected until they become life-threatening in under-resourced regions

People in Nigeria and similar markets lack access to timely mental health screening and intervention, leading to preventable deaths from depression and untreated psychiatric conditions. Traditional therapy is inaccessible due to cost, stigma, and severe shortage of mental health professionals, leaving vulnerable populations with no early warning system. Current solutions require in-person visits and specialist availability that simply don't exist at scale in these regions.
