ABSTRACT
Mental illness is a global health concern that has been referred to as a “silent pandemic.” It is estimated that one in four individuals will experience some form of mental illness at some point in their lives, making it a widespread problem. Mental illness can take various forms, including depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and many others.
To address the silent pandemic of mental illness, it is essential to increase awareness and understanding of mental illness, reduce stigma, and increase access to mental health services. Governments, healthcare providers, and community organizations must work together to develop and implement effective policies and programs to promote mental health and well-being. The provision of accessible and affordable mental health care services and support, including counseling and psychotherapy, is vital to addressing the silent pandemic of mental illness.
