The Support Gap
Individuals can feel lonely in their challenge, enhanced by the significant gap between them and the support system.
Globally, an estimated 5% of adults suffer from depression and about 4% from anxiety.
Depression, anxiety and behavioural disorders
are among the leading causes of illness and disability among adolescents.
Lost productivity as a result of two of the most common mental disorders, anxiety and depression, costs the global economy US$ 1 trillion each year.
What causes the support gap?
Personal & social stigma
Poor access to resources
Lack of psycho-social understanding
Lack of hope
