why.
In a world increasingly aware of the importance of mental health, the role of science-backed tools in fostering well-being cannot be overstated.
- 1 in 8 people, over 970 million globally, live with mental disorders, spotlighting the universal challenge of mental health. [1]
- Depression affects approximately 280 million people worldwide, representing a major public health issue. [2]
- The COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated mental health conditions, with increases of 26% in anxiety and 28% in major depressive disorders. [3]
- 75% of people in low- and middle-income countries receive no treatment for their mental health conditions, highlighting a critical gap in care. [4]
As a result, stoic is on a mission to make mental health tools more accessible and help us answer the questions – how do our actions influence how we feel, and how can we improve our mental well-being in the long term?
