Highlighting the deep impact of mental health issues on individuals, society, and healthcare systems.
Mental health remains a pressing concern with significant social and economic implications. In Canada, 30% of disability claims stem from mental illness, making up 70% of all disability-related costs. On a global scale, the crisis is even more alarming — approximately 800,000 people die by suicide each year, equating to one death every 40 seconds. These figures emphasize the urgent need for better awareness, prevention, and support systems worldwide.
