The Kurdistan Region has a series of different challenges with healthcare in general, as discussed in previous episodes (Min. Saman Barzinji). These problems often manifest themselves through logistical challenges, such as space available in public hospitals, and the availability of certain medications throughout the region. These problems exist in the world of psychiatry and psychological assistance as well, but with an added challenge of societal stigma.
