Waiting times for medical appointments can be a significant issue, often leading to delays in receiving necessary care. These delays can be caused by a variety of factors, including high patient demand, limited healthcare provider availability, and administrative inefficiencies. Long waiting times can result in worsened health outcomes, and increased patient frustration.

Mental health issues can have a profound ripple effect, touching everyone around the person affected. For families and friends, it often means a heavy emotional toll, with worry, frustration, and sometimes even guilt. Relationships can become strained as loved ones try to offer support, sometimes without fully understanding the condition.

Socially, mental health struggles can lead to isolation. The stigma around mental illness might cause individuals to withdraw, leading to a loss of social connections and support networks. This isolation can exacerbate symptoms, creating a vicious cycle.
