Indonesia, a country with 240 million people, is facing significant challenges in providing mental health care. There are only about 500 psychiatrists in the entire country, leading to a shortage and leaving approximately 750,000 Indonesians with mental health issues without the proper care they need.
Due to cultural beliefs associating mental illness with evil spirits, many people resort to traditional herbal remedies and prayers, which may not always provide effective results in addressing mental health conditions.
For those who do seek medical help, mental health facilities in Indonesia often have harsh conditions, such as chaining, caging, and inadequate resources. This highlights the pressing need for reforms to ensure humane treatment and better facilities for individuals with mental health needs.
