"This is a major problem," Suraya Dalil, Afghanistan’s acting public health minister, said. "More than 60 percent of Afghans are suffering from stress disorders and mental problems."「這是重大的問題，」阿富汗公共衛生代理部長蘇拉雅．達莉說。「逾6成的阿富汗人承受壓力障礙與精神問題之苦。」The picture is particularly grim in parts of the country where government healthcare workers are unable to provide basic services because of Taliban insurgency, she said.
