What's the challenge with Mental Health?
Mental health, it's a topic that's finally getting the spotlight it deserves, but there's still a long road ahead of us. According to the World Health Organisation (WHO), around one in four people in the world will be affected by mental or neurological disorders at some point in their lives. That's nearly two billion people grappling with conditions ranging from depression and anxiety to schizophrenia.
Stigma, discrimination, lack of awareness, and limited access to quality care all contribute to a global mental health crisis. In many countries, mental health is a taboo subject, often misunderstood and rarely discussed. This can prevent individuals from seeking the help they need and deserves. Moreover, roughly two-thirds of people with a known mental disorder never seek help from a health professional.

What is being down to address with the challenge of Mental Health?
Addressing the mental health crisis calls for a multi-faceted approach. We need to break the stigma, build awareness, and improve access to care. This involves educating communities about mental health, training healthcare providers, and implementing policies that prioritise mental health alongside physical health.
Organisations around the world are already working hard to make mental health a global priority. They're providing crucial services like counseling, support hotlines, and community outreach programs, all designed to help those struggling with mental health issues.
