Professor Sa’adatu Hassan Liman, Vice Chancellor of Nasarawa State University, Keffi (NSUK), has called on Muslim women to combat depression by fostering strong support networks. Speaking at an event organized by the Al-Habibiyyah Women Forum titled ‘Women and Depression: The Way Out’ at the Al-Habibiyah Islamic Society (AIS), Guzape, Abuja, she emphasized the reality of depression.

Professor Liman highlighted that life’s challenges and anxieties are significant contributors to depression and stressed the importance of community support for those affected. “Depression is a real psychological issue, not a sign of mental instability,” she stated. “We must support those struggling with kindness and empathy, recognizing that they may suffer in silence.”

She advocated for professional psychological care, urging listeners to observe and support women who withdraw socially or exhibit unexplained health issues. “Encourage them to seek help, particularly from hospital psychological departments,” she advised.

Fuad Adeyemi, the National Chief Imam of AIS, explained that the event aimed to create a platform for women to discuss and resolve shared challenges. “Women are vital to families and society, bearing the weight of many problems,” he said. “By uniting, they can address these issues effectively.”

Adeyemi also expressed gratitude to the media for their coverage of Al-Habibiyyah’s programs, acknowledging their crucial role in publicizing their efforts.

Guest lecturer and mental health expert, Hajiya Khairat Haliru, encouraged women to be supportive and open about their problems. “Don’t bottle up your issues; share them with trusted confidants,” she advised.
