How many people suffer from mental health?

Sometimes I feel a bit down and unmotivated, and it makes me think about mental well-being in general. I want to know, how many people globally suffer from mental health problems? Is it a common experience?

It's a much larger number than people acknowledge. I ignored my stress for so long, thinking it was just 'normal pressure', and it led to physical health issues too. Please, don't let it get to that stage. Talk to a doctor or a therapist.

It's a very significant portion of the population globally. Mental health challenges are not a weakness; they are health conditions that need attention and care, just like physical ones. Encourage open conversations and support those around you.

Haha, for me it's usually when I can't decide between pizza or biryani for dinner! But joking aside, it's really a serious thing, mental health. Many people struggle silently. Be kind to yourself and others, and maybe a little comfort food helps sometimes too!

Oh, a huge percentage, I imagine. Just reading about it makes me wonder if I'm overthinking my own anxiety. It's so common now. If you're feeling overwhelmed, please reach out for help. You're not alone in this, even if it feels like it.

Yaar, actually a lot of people. Like, way more than we think. Especially after COVID, stress levels have gone up for so many. It's okay to not be okay, and it's totally okay to seek help. Don't feel ashamed, seriously.
