One question. One truth.
“Why is mental health a growing concern?”
Systemic underfunding of mental health services is the primary driver of growing mental health concerns. Governments allocate a median of only 2% of health budgets, and up to 75% of people in low- and middle-income countries receive no treatment.

CURRENT STATE
This funding gap results in widespread unmet needs. Referrals in England surged 37.9% since 2019, and only 47.7% of adults with common mental disorders accessed treatment as of 2023/24. Inadequate resources limit effective care amid surging mental health problems.
