Abstract

Pakistan has been experiencing a financial crisis for several years, characterized by inflation and rising debt. These economic difficulties have had a significant impact on the country's young, who make up a significant portion of the population. In addition, current political crises and inflation have exacerbated the situation, leading to an increase in adolescent mental health crises.
