Oct. 10, 2010 -- KABUL (Agence France-Presse) -- Scarred by decades of war, social problems and poverty, more than 60 percent of Afghans suffer from stress disorders and mental health problems, a top health official said Sunday.
"This is a major problem," Suraya Dalil, Afghanistan's acting public health minister told a ceremony in Kabul to mark World Mental Health Day.
"More than 60 percent of Afghans are suffering from stress disorders and mental problems," she said.
The picture is particularly grim in parts of the country where Dalil said government healthcare workers are unable to provide basic services because of an ongoing Taliban insurgency.
