@intels5: Mental disorders are the world’s leading cause of years lived with disability, accounting for more than 17% of the global total, according to research published in The Lancet. The analysis covered 204 countries and territories and estimated nearly 1.2 billion cases worldwide. The burden peaked among teenagers aged 15–19 and was higher among women, with anxiety and depression major contributors. The researchers also highlighted a major treatment gap: a separate analysis found that only about 9% of people with major depressive disorder received care meeting minimum standards of adequacy.
