This article aims to shine light on mental health in Mauritius and provides insight into how we can better address mental health issues among its population. We will discuss existing efforts by Mauritanian authorities, organisations advocating for Mental Health improvement actions, and potential solutions.

Mauritius is an incredibly diverse country with many different cultures and religions. Unfortunately, one thing remains the same throughout: mental health. Mental illness affects people in Mauritius just like in other parts of the world – yet it often goes undiagnosed or untreated due to a lack of knowledge and awareness around this topic.
