Increasing Need
Mental Health conditions are a universal need with a total of 970 million, or one in eight, global individuals living with a mental health condition. However, access to care is not a universal privilege. With only 2 percent of health budgets dedicated to mental health services, there is limited care available in general, and especially for those individuals with low- or middle-class incomes.
Recorded depression rates have dramatically increased since the 1800s parallel to the rise of publication interest in psychology and decline of publication interest in Christianity.
