Psychologist Wambui Karathi, 23, created a “rage room” in September 2024 and hosted around 40 clients in the room.
Karathi emphasizes, however, that these spaces cannot replace real therapy. Even if the visit of a rage room may offer temporary relief for problems such as anxiety, it does not address the root causes of distress.
According to a report by the Global Mind Project, 23% of Kenyans, or approximately 10.9 million people, suffer from mental disorders.
Additionally, 75% of the population does not have access to mental health services and, according to Kenya’s Ministry of Health, four people commit suicide every day.
