With nearly 50% of people grappling with emotional and mental health issues, a systemic problem exists that remains inadequately addressed. The absence of effective active listening skills in the population amplifies these struggles, leading many to experience heightened feelings of isolation and depression. A widespread lack of empathetic communication exacerbates the sense of solitude, creating a debilitating cycle of despair and neglect in a time of desperate need for understanding and support.
