Many aspects of mental health have been challenged, and before the outbreak of the pandemic in 2019, an estimated 1 in 8 people globally had a mental disorder, the organization said in a new statement. Psychological stress is in short supply, far below what is needed, especially in low- and middle-income countries.
The organization added, “The Corona pandemic has caused a global mental health crisis, resulting in short and long-term stresses and undermining the mental health of millions. It is estimated that both anxiety and depression cases rose by more than 25%, during the first year of the epidemic, at the same time, Mental health services have been severely disrupted and the treatment gap for mental health conditions has widened.
