Evidence from clinical trials and meta-analyses suggests that nonpharmacological therapies, such as ketogenic diets, neurofeedback, yoga, and acupuncture, offer potential benefits as adjunct or alternative therapies to pharmacological approaches. These therapies have been shown to reduce seizure frequency and improve the quality of life in patients with epilepsy. However, implementing nonpharmacological therapies in Africa presents challenges such as lack of access and affordability, limited evidence, cultural and attitudinal barriers, and cost. Despite these challenges, healthcare providers should be aware of nonpharmacological therapies and have access to adequate resources for their implementation. The review emphasises the need for further research to explore the potential of combining pharmacological and nonpharmacological therapies, as well as identifying patient populations that may benefit most from nonpharmacological therapies. It also identifies the importance of addressing the challenges associated with nonpharmacological therapies, such as access, affordability, and standardisation, to ensure successful implementation in Africa.","PeriodicalId":306111,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Surgery: Global Health","volume":"25 20","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140450603","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Depression and anxiety affect 34% of the population, with regional variations. The scarcity of mental health facilities and professionals exacerbates the situation, leading many to seek help from traditional healers. Socioeconomic challenges, terrorism, and internal conflicts contribute to the mental health crisis. Recent suicide bombings, such as the one in Peshawar, highlight the emotional aftermath and challenges faced by survivors. The complex interplay of factors, including sociocultural influences, contributes to the emergence of a martyrdom subculture. Understanding terrorism requires examining the broader sociocultural and political context. The prevalence of mental illness and rising terrorism suggests a potential connection, although causality is complex. Coping with terrorism-induced trauma poses challenges for survivors, necessitating comprehensive mental health support. Recommendations include nationwide studies, school mental health programs, and initiatives to counter misinformation and radicalization through media. Establishing telepsychiatry services and collaboration between mental health experts and religious scholars is crucial for enhancing social cohesion and mental wellbeing in Pakistan.","PeriodicalId":306111,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Surgery: Global Health","volume":"26 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140524454","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
