Today, tens of millions of people struggle with unprecedented increases in anxiety, depression and suicide rates. It’s time we put an end to this vicious cycle.
That's the equivalent of the total populations of United States, Canada, Mexico, UK, and France combined.
Around 65 million Americans will experience a mental illness this year alone.
Between 1990 and 2013, the number of people reported suffering from depression and/or anxiety increased by nearly 50% (from 416 million to 615 million).1
60% of people don’t get the mental health services that they need.2
Suicide is the 2nd leading cause of death in 15-29 year-olds globally.3
Depression and anxiety account for $1 trillion in lost productivity globally every year.
