Another tragic suicide (BNU student) has reignited debate about mental health in Pakistan. But are people aware of HOW EXPENSIVE it is to see a therapist? How will students afford 5k per session (this is the lower going rate - can go as high as 25k/session)?

Wow Barkha what a reductive and hateful comment. More power to @Malala , whom the world often forgets is a young woman speaking for the downtrodden everywhere. Yes, even in Kashmir.

Disappointing to see @Malala wade into cliched Pakistan state narrative about #Kashmir when the hard truth is that she can never even return to her own country because she was shot for the rights of girls to go to school.

Just heard the horrible, terrible news about the passing away of @Nadir_Hassan . Many of you must have known him from @etribune . Shocked. Just cannot believe this. 37 years old passed away of a sudden brain haemorrhage.

Amazed at some responses to my tweet abt Acumen Pakistan shutting down. Several celebrating closing down of "foreign funded" org. FYI, our govts and the military have also been "foreign funded". Not everything funded externally is bad. Please get your mind out of the gutter.

One brave judgement will not undue the curse that is misuse of the blasphemy law. Govt, opposition, media must speak up today and laud the courage of the court.

And thus ends Nawaz Sharif's speech, which will go down as one his most defiant, unrestrained moments. There's no turning back from here #APC2020

READ THIS: At least one person takes their life each hour in Pakistan. So many people are struggling without support from society or access to a doctor. We need to talk about it. Read these harrowing stories and encourage others to #EndTheSilenceNow

Pakistan's silent suicide problem

Families cover up what happened to their loved one. And taboo prevents all discussion.
