85 per cent of Pakistanis are fully satisfied with their mental health while 14 per cent have expressed concerns, reveals a new survey by Gallup Pakistan.
50 per cent of the people admitted to facing stress in their daily life — often or sometimes — while 50 per cent said that they do not have any stress.
In the survey, 17 per cent of Pakistanis cited their family or domestic problems as the main cause of mental stress, 15 per cent cited lack of money, 14 per cent said unemployment, 13 percent cited their job, and eight percent cited their health as the main cause of mental stress.
The rate of Pakistanis suffering from mental stress is clearly lower than the global opinion as a total of 79 per cent are suffering from mental stress globally, while 24 per cent deem their job as the main reason for mental stress.
Globally, 21 per cent are affected by lack of money while 19 per cent quote family problems as the main cause of mental stress.
