The numbers behind global mental health and its different disorders

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), more than one billion people, roughly one in eight, are currently living with a mental health condition. Young people are among the hardest hit, while men face higher rates of suicide and women experience disproportionately higher rates of anxiety and depression. Despite the scale of the crisis, mental health is chronically underfunded, with median government spending globally on mental health at just two percent of health budgets.
