Globally, mental health conditions are the leading causes of disability and distress. As per the WHO, approximately 280 million people worldwide suffer from depression alone, and the mental health challenges experienced during the COVID-19 pandemic have only exacerbated the situation. The lack of awareness and access to care remain the most significant obstacles to mental health care.
