Mental health is foundational for overall health. Those facing mental health challenges tend to have shorter lifespans and are more susceptible to chronic diseases like cardiovascular issues and cancer.
Mental health problems often begin in childhood or adolescence, impacting education, employment, and relationships. Individuals with these problems are less likely to achieve educational milestones or maintain stable jobs.
While increasing access to treatment and improving therapies is crucial, addressing the mental health crisis also requires a deeper understanding of the underlying social factors contributing to these challenges.
The CDC's estimates indicate that 33% of people will experience a mental disorder in their lifetime, highlighting the widespread nature of mental health issues and their implications on society.
