- 1 in 8 people—over 970 million globally—live with mental disorders, highlighting the universal challenge of mental health. [1]
- Depression affects approximately 280 million people worldwide, making it a major public health issue. [2]
- The COVID-19 pandemic has worsened mental health conditions, with a 26% increase in anxiety and a 28% rise in major depressive disorders. [3]
