All this unrest and fear, said Dr Moosa Murad Khan, head of the psychiatry department at Karachi’s Aga Khan Hospital, is bound to affect the people’s psyche “very negatively”.
“People will remain under constant threat and that will instill a sense of insecurity in them. This can affect every aspect of their living—work, sleep, relationship, performance,” warned Khan. Even in ordinary circumstances, people in Pakistan “live on the edge” and have a very “fragile existence,” he added.
“But when a threat like this happens, it tips many people over the edge, and we see more and more people seeking help and the consumption of tranquillizers goes up,” said Khan.
