Health leaders meet on World Mental Health Day
Today marks World Mental Health Day, and this year, the WHO is putting a spotlight on mental health among young people. The organization says that while half of all mental health conditions affect people by age 14, many of those issues aren’t detected or treated. Health leaders and researchers are convening today in the U.K. to talk about how to bump investment in mental health and quickly scale up helpful interventions.
