Our mental health system is fundamentally broken and fails the very people it is meant to support.
In low- and middle-income countries, 76% to 85% of people with severe mental disorders receive no treatment. This figure remains high in high-income countries, ranging from 35% to 50%.
Annual global mental health spending per person is critically low, less than US$ 2. In low-income countries, it is less than US$ 0.25. Alarmingly, 67% of these funds go to stand-alone mental hospitals, often associated with poor health outcomes and human rights violations.

exercise their legal capacity on other issues affecting them, including their treatment and care.

Mental disorders frequently lead individuals and families into poverty. Homelessness and inappropriate incarceration are far more common for people with mental disorders than for the general population and exacerbate their marginalization and vulnerability.
