- Every time there's a gunfire massacre or a violent spread. People point the lack of investiment in their country. The thing is: I dont think this is only on the country of the people comenting.
I see the same thing here in Brazil. Guy with katana killing children, atacking schools. Bet on violent games, like putting a cat in a micro-wave. Humans always have been violent trought or history. Maybe is the bigger number of people on this planet, make the numbers increase?
Better reporting? Or we are really getting worse?

To make matters worse, in the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic, rates of common conditions such as depression and anxiety, went up by more than 25 per cent, the UN health agency (WHO) said on Friday.
In its largest review of mental health since the turn of the century, the World Health Organization has urged more countries to get to grips with worsening conditions.
“Everyone’s life touches someone with a mental health condition,” said WHO Director-General, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus. “Good mental health translates to good physical health and this new report makes a compelling case for change.
“The inextricable links between mental health and public health, human rights and socioeconomic development mean that transforming policy and practice in mental health can deliver real, substantive benefits for individuals, communities and countries everywhere. Investment into mental health is an investment into a better life and future for all.”
Even before COVID-19 hit, only a small fraction of people in need of help had access to effective, affordable and quality mental health treatment, WHO said, citing latest available global data from 2019.
For example, more than 70 per cent of those suffering from psychosis worldwide, do not get the help they need, the UN agency said.

The lack of proper care. Or social ostracisaton, does makes people act violent?
I dont know. In the end people only need a excuse to act violent anyway. Their team won a cup?
Go burn some cars and a block of the city.
What's is my fellow sher-bros and sher-sisters opinion?

- The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that globally 1 out of every 4 people will be impacted by poor mental health or mental illness at some point in their lives.
- 350 million people worldwide suffer from depression.
- According to the WHO, each year an estimated 800,000 people take their own lives – almost twice the number of people killed by malaria.
- Suicide is the second highest cause of death among 15 to 29-year-olds. Percentages are especially high among girls and young women.
- Almost 9 out of 10 people with a mental condition experience stigma and discrimination.
- In high-income countries, 5 out of 10 people that require MHPSS cannot access the care they need. In low- and middle-income countries, this number rises to 9 out of 10 people.
Economic costs of mental health issues
- In total, poor mental health costs the world economy an estimated USD 2.5 trillion a year in reduced economic productivity and physical ill-health. This will rise to USD 6 trillion by 2030, alongside social costs and the contribution to poverty, homelessness and crime.
- According to the World Economic Forum, mental illness will account for more than half of the economic burden of disease over the next two decades – more than cancer, diabetes and chronic respiratory diseases combined.
- 54% of the economic burden of disease falls to low- and middle-income countries.
- Investing in MHPSS also brings economic returns. The World Bank estimates that for every dollar invested in treating mental conditions, there is a return of between USD 3.3 and USD 5.7 dollars in economic and social benefits.
- Spending on mental healthcare continues to be low compared to total healthcare spending. In 2015, for example, a total of USD 36 billion was spent on healthcare. Only USD 110 million of this – 0.3% – was spent on mental health.
- Low-income countries spend around USD 0.02 per person on mental healthcare. This should be a minimum of USD 3 to USD 4.
- The world’s most important mental healthcare donors are the US, the UK, Germany, France, Canada and Australia.
- In 2000-2015, charities accounted for around 30% of all development spending on mental healthcare.
