The EU: ‘More than one person in 6 suffers from mental problems’ – Healthcare

“Before the COVID-19 pandemic, mental health problems already affected one in six people in the European Union, equal to around 84 million citizens, and the situation has worsened with the unprecedented crises experienced in recent years”. The European Commission writes this in its new strategy dedicated to mental health, underlining that “the cost of inaction is significant, equal to 600 billion euros every year, a figure that is worth more than 4% of EU GDP”. In 2020, ten deaths per 100,000 EU inhabitants were caused by suicide. Among young people, suicide is now the second leading cause of death“.
