        "summary": "A new study published in The Lancet reveals that nearly 1.2 billion people globally lived with mental disorders in 2023, with anxiety and depression being the most prevalent conditions. Global mental disorder cases have increased by 95.5 per cent since 1990, with anxiety rising 158 per cent and depression increasing 131 per cent over the past three decades, marking a significant public health crisis that has been exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic.",

A new\nstudy published in The Lancet reveals that nearly 1.2 billion people\nworldwide lived with mental disorders in 2023, with anxiety and\ndepression being the most frequently identified cases.<\/p>\n<p>According to CNN, global mental disorder cases have increased by 95.5\nper cent compared to 1990.<\/p>\n<p>The research also showed a dramatic rise in anxiety cases, which\nincreased by 158 per cent, and depression, which increased by 131 per\ncent, over the past three decades.<\/p>\n<p>This research analysed data from the Global Burden of Diseases,\nInjuries and Risk Factors Study (GBD) 2023, which covered 204 countries\nand territories worldwide.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was truly shocked at the magnitude of this increase,\u201d said\nSantomauro.<\/p>\n<p>According to the research, the most common mental disorders found in\n2023 were anxiety disorders and depression.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, researchers also noted increases in bipolar disorder,\nschizophrenia, ADHD, autism spectrum disorder, anorexia nervosa,\nbulimia, and behavioural disorders in children and adolescents.<\/p>\n<p>Although anorexia nervosa, bulimia, and schizophrenia represented the\ndisorders with the smallest numbers compared to others, their cases\nremained significant. The research noted approximately 4 million cases\nof anorexia nervosa, 14 million cases of bulimia, and 26 million cases\nof schizophrenia worldwide in 2023.<\/p>\n<p>Before the pandemic, anxiety and depression figures had already been\nincreasing. However, following the COVID-19 pandemic, depression cases\ncontinued to rise and have not returned to pre-pandemic levels.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, anxiety figures reportedly peaked during the pandemic and\nremained elevated through 2023.<\/p>\n<p>Paul Bolton, a senior researcher from Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School\nof Public Health, stated that the data likely represents the closest\napproximation to current real-world conditions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis estimate is probably the closest figure we have to the actual\nconditions we face at present,\u201d Bolton said.<\/p>",
