Dear Editors,

Latest correspondence article by Setyorini et al., entitled ‘Children’s psychological well-being: a cornerstone for a healthier World’s future’ explains that supporting children’s emotional well-being is more than just a responsibility, but also an investment in the future.1 This explanation is related to the article that discusses 'food insecurity and childhood undernutrition'.2 Food insecurity is often discussed in terms of its immediate, physical consequences—malnutrition,3,4 stunted growth5,6 and other health-related issues. However, the less visible but equally devastating aspect is its impact on the psychological well-being of children, particularly those in low-income families. This correspondence article aims to shed light on these ‘unseen victims’ and explore the complex ways in which food insecurity affects the mental and emotional health of children living in financially constrained households.

The unpredictability associated with food insecurity can be a significant source of stress7 and anxiety8 for children. The constant worry over when and where the next meal will come from can create a state of chronic stress, which, in turn, can interfere with a child's ability to concentrate, learn and even interact socially. This constant state of alertness is mentally exhausting and can lead to emotional issues like depression and anxiety,9 even at a young age.
