About one in eight people in the world live with a mental disorder, said the WHO in a landmark report released on Friday calling for urgent action on transforming mental healthcare. Even before the pandemic, in 2019, the number of people living with a mental disorder was nearly a billion, including 14 per cent of the world`s adolescents, a number that has been exacerbated by the Covid-19 pandemic in the last two years.
