Why depression.pk exists
Mental illness is common, treatable, and — in Pakistan — almost entirely unsupported. The numbers are stark. They are also why a free companion and a real-help directory matter.
Pakistan has roughly one psychiatrist for every half-million people. The WHO considers even one per 100,000 a bare minimum.
Closing the Mental Health Gap, 2025 (Pakistan ≈0.19–0.28); WHO benchmark
