'Fortunately, current perceptions regarding the importance of mental health are shifting at a global level.' - Dr Andrew Mohanraj

Anxiety and depression are two of the most common mental health conditions worldwide. — Photos: Filepic

There was great hope when there was inclusion of mental health indicators in the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals in 2015.However, the fact that mental illness can affect anyone and have a direct impact on development was somehow forgotten or ignored in lieu of “more pressing concerns” by policymakers, with many countries merely paying lip service to mental health issues.

The positive association between poverty and mental health problems is one of the most well-established theories in epidemiology.Conversely, poverty also increases the risk of developing mental health problems, resulting in a “vicious cycle”.However, the pathways to receiving adequate and humane mental healthcare vary within countries and between countries.

The fact that mental disorders account for almost one in three years lived with disability globally, should say something. Anxiety and depression also play large roles in the health of expectant and new mothers and their children. Children are also affected by depression and anxiety, which causes a negative effect on their ability to learn and study.

Stigma associated with mental disorders can result in social isolation, low self-esteem, and limited chances in education and employment.There is a huge amount of evidence that investing in workplace wellness programmes is good for employees and companies.
