EC Clinical and Medical Case Reports

Among various strategies, media plays a vital role in promoting mental health awareness and encouraging people to seek professional care.

Our aim is to report a case of a 63-year-old male who presented with persistent depressive symptoms for 27 years which interfered significantly with his daily life activities. He sought help from different traditional healers and religious leaders with no significant improvement. He decided to seek professional help after learning about depression symptoms through the Media on Mental Health program. Before that, he struggled to understand the complexity of his emotions. He was diagnosed with persistent depressive disorder, was placed under treatment, and progressed well after 3 months.
