🧠 Mental Health – A Growing Concern
Did you know? Almost 14% of the world’s population is living with some form of mental disorder — and the youth are at the highest risk.
📊 Key Insights:
• 28% of people fall into the negative mental health category.
• Adolescents & young adults (15–29 yrs) show the highest vulnerability.
• Women are more affected by anxiety, depression, and eating disorders, while men show higher rates of OCD, autism spectrum, and ADHD.
• Nearly 2 out of 3 mental illnesses are linked to stress and depression.
⚠️ The challenge: In adolescence, mental health problems have tripled in recent years. If left unaddressed, they deeply impact education, relationships, and overall life satisfaction.
✅ The way forward:
• Open conversations about mental health.
• Early screening and timely help.
• Prioritizing balanced lifestyle, social support & professional care.
🌍 Mental health is not just an individual issue — it’s a global health priority. Let’s work together to reduce stigma and build a healthier tomorrow. 💙
