WorldMentalHealthDay: According to the WHO World Mental Health Report, the number of people living with a mental disorder worldwide comes close to an estimated one billion. DW's SchwallerFred summarizes what's being done about it.
"We're already seeing early successes; for example, helping people understand that that sexual attraction between people of the same sex is not a mental disorder, but rather they might be at higher risk of mental health conditions because of social stigma and discrimination, and in need of support," Schafer said.
"Some countries are further ahead in their progress," Schafer said."The WHO's Special Initiative for Mental Health is working toward facilitating such changes so that expansion of mental health services can be sustained and enhanced even further."While the WHO initiative is seeing early successes, the project will end in 2023. What happens with the new mental health support networks after that is not clear.
