Nigeria faces a critical challenge in addressing the mental health needs of children and adolescents. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), 1 in 6 young people aged 10–19 worldwide experience a mental health condition, but mental health services for this age group are limited, especially in low- and middle-income countries like Nigeria. Despite the increasing global awareness of mental health issues, Nigeria’s mental health system remains underdeveloped, in this, children and adolescents are greatly underserved and marginalised.
Recent studies estimate that about 20 - 30% of children and adolescents in Nigeria suffer from mental health disorders. Common conditions include anxiety, depression, and behavioural disorders, with many of these issues exacerbated by poverty, trauma, and social stigmatization.
Sadly, Nigeria has fewer than 300 psychiatrists for its entire population of over 200 million people, translating to approximately 1 psychiatrist per 500,000 people. Even fewer specialises in child and adolescent mental health. Many regions lack facilities, specialists, or even basic mental health services, leaving children and teens without the support they need.
Moreover, mental health is heavily stigmatized in Nigeria, with many parents and communities attributing mental health conditions to spiritual causes or moral failings. This stigma prevents families from seeking help, leaving many children untreated and vulnerable to more severe mental health challenges as they grow older. Studies have shown that untreated mental health disorders in childhood can lead to increased dropout rates, substance abuse, and criminal behaviour, further perpetuating cycles of poverty and social disadvantage.
