Over a billion people live with mental health conditions @who#mentalheatlh #health #mentalhealth

The World Health Organisation (WHO) said ‎more than one billion people are living with mental health disorders‎, according to new data released.

‎ ‎The organisation said in a statement on Tuesday that the conditions ‎are anxiety and depression, inflicting immense human and economic tolls, adding that the services require urgent scale-up. ‎

Mental health conditions such as anxiety and depression are highly ‎prevalent in all countries and communities, affecting people of all ‎ages and income levels. ‎ ‎

“They represent the second biggest reason for long-term disability, contributing to loss of healthy life,”.

Every government and every leader has a responsibility to act with urgency and to ensure that mental health care is treated not as a privilege, but as a basic right for all,”.

Anxiety and depressive disorders are the most common types of mental health ‎disorders among both men and women. ‎

“Suicide remains a devastating outcome, claiming an estimated 727,000 ‎lives in 2021 alone. It is a leading cause of death among young people ‎across all countries and socioeconomic contexts,”.

🧠 Mental health disorders are now the second leading cause of long-term disability worldwide.

- 💸 The economic toll is immense—mental health issues cost the global economy an estimated $1 trillion annually in lost productivity.

Despite growing awareness, mental health care remains underfunded and unevenly distributed. The WHO is calling for urgent action to treat mental health not as a privilege, but as a basic human right.

If you're thinking about how this affects your community—or yourself—I’d be glad to explore ways to support mental well-being or advocate for change.
