Rising Concerns Over Domestic Violence

Experts emphasize that such extreme reactions to minor disagreements highlight the urgent need for awareness, mental health support, and stricter legal measures to prevent such tragedies.
The Physical and Mental Health Effects of Domestic Abuse
Domestic violence not only causes immediate physical harm but also has long-term psychological consequences. Victims often suffer from anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Additionally, prolonged exposure to violence can lead to severe health issues, including high blood pressure, heart disease, and weakened immunity.
The Importance of Seeking Help and Raising Awareness
It is crucial to create a safe environment where victims feel empowered to seek help. Helplines, counselling services, and legal support must be readily available for those experiencing domestic abuse. Raising awareness through education and community programs can play a key role in preventing such incidents in the future.
Conclusion
This tragic incident serves as a stark reminder that domestic violence is a serious public health issue. Authorities, healthcare professionals, and communities must work together to support victims, enforce strict laws, and promote mental well-being to prevent further tragedies.
