    Introduction

    The project is designed by Film Impact Movement intending to bring out the mental challenges
    faced by creative artists in this COVID-19 era. Creative artists mental health is critical and
    expressing their views deeply persuades their exposure to the arts. Involvement in the arts by all
    persons serves not only to inform ones’ knowledge of it, but to also document for posterity the
    goings-on of the current times.

    Mental Health is fundamental at achieving Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) particularly


    goal three (ENSURE HEALTHY LIVES AND PROMOTE WELL-BEING FOR ALL AT ALL
    AGES) and Uganda Vision 2040. At global level mental disorders account for nearly 12% of the
    global burden of disease. By 2020 it is project that mental health will account for nearly 15% of
    disability adjusted life-years lost to illness. According to World Health Organization (WHO)
    Report 2017, Uganda ranks among the top six countries with the highest cases of mental illness
    in Africa, and has a 33 per cent overall global ranking.

    Mental Health
    The country is becoming increasingly aware of the burden of mental disorders and the need for
    immediate action to address it. At country level mental health is fundamental in the overall
    health care minimum package and achieving Uganda Vision 2040 and Sustainable Development
    Goals. In Uganda, there are practices that do not encourage compassion or tolerance for mental
    health patients but promote beliefs that the impaired mental state is self-inflicted through an
    excess of passion and anxiety. In many societies, religious or witch craft explanations have
    dominated the way in which people with mental disorders are cared for, treated and managed.
    Current national advances in the social sciences have given new insights into causes of mental
    disorders such as depression and anxiety. In this country, mental health is a composite problem.

    The Challenge

    The country is not prepared to care for and support persons with mental Illness and burdens.
    Official documents have ranked Uganda number 6th among 50 countries in Africa with high
    mental health burden (WHO, 2017). The report indicates that 1.7 million or (4.6%) Ugandans
    suffer from depressive disorders and 1.07 0r (2.8%) from anxiety disorders. In addition, analysis
    of Uganda Health Management Information Systems indicates that there is an increase of 9%
    among persons seeking mental health care clinic services. In the country there is wide spread
    stigma of mental disorders and has resulted into poor health care seeking practices and
    management of mental illness and burdens. The costs of mental disorders are substantial. The
    indirect costs attributable to mental disorders outweigh the direct treatment costs. In the country,
    families bear a significant proportion of these costs because of the absence of publicly funded
    comprehensive mental health service networks.
