JAKARTA: A mother’s suicide in West Java, which also claimed the lives of her two children, has cast a harsh spotlight on Indonesia’s deepening mental health crisis, where economic hardship, stigma and limited access to care continue to drive rising, yet vastly underreported, cases of self-harm.
The 34-year-old woman was found dead at her home in Bandung regency last week, with police suspecting that her children died from poisoning.
