Synapse Pakistan Neuroscience Institute announced the return of “Unplugged 2025”, Pakistan’s only youth-led concert for mental health awareness, which took place on Saturday, 1 November 2025, at Aga Khan University (AKU). “Over 60% of our population is under the age of 30 and a quarter of them are suffering from mental health distress,” said Dr. Ayesha Mian, Founder & CEO of Synapse Pakistan. “This urgent need can no longer be ignored. “Unplugged” is a reminder that health is not just about disorders—it starts upstream with wellbeing. It is a space where young people can come together, take agency, and make a call to action for better mental health for all.” Dr Zul Merali, Founding Director of AKU-BMI, added, “It’s a creative space to raise awareness, share stories, and spark honest conversations about mental health. We plan to keep the momentum going and turn these conversations into meaningful action for young people’s wellbeing.”
