The world is ignoring mental health, and significant personal and societal costs are piling up because of it. 1 in 5 individuals in the U.S. suffer from a mental health disorder, yet most (54.7%) fail to receive treatment due to affordability barriers, workforce shortages, and persistent stigma. The consequences of neglecting mental health extend to economic losses, workplace inefficiencies, and increased welfare costs. Individuals suffering from untreated conditions often experience lower productivity, financial instability, and a diminished quality of life. Societal norms must evolve to prioritize mental health, ensuring access to preventative care, reducing treatment disparities, and fostering a culture that supports psychological well-being. Addressing these challenges is not only a moral imperative but also an economic necessity.
