Световната здравна организация алармира за стряскащ ръст на депресията в глобален план – цели 18% за малко над десетилетие.
Психичното заболяване засяга над 300 млн. души по света и е водеща причина страдащите да загубят живота си заради най-големите убийци на човечеството – зависимости, самоубийство, сърдечно-съдови заболявания или диабет.
Според СЗО средно само около 3% от бюджетa за здравеопазване на правителствата е предназначен за разходи, свързани с психичното здраве на хората, а дори в развитите страни само половината от тях получават необходимото лечениe.
От депресия може да се разболее всеки, като състоянието засяга по-често жените, но е лечимо, така че горе главата. Вижте повече в кампанията #LetsTalk на СЗО:
