COVID-19 exacted a toll on health citizens’ mental health, worsening a public health challenge that was already acute before the pandemic.

It’s World Mental Health Day, an event marked by global and local stakeholders across the mental health ecosystem.

  • Depression is a leading cause of disability worldwide, impacting about 5% of the world’s population
  • People with severe mental disorders like schizophrenia tend to die as much as 20 years earlier than the overall population
