The World Health Organisation estimated that in 2017, almost 800 million people worldwide suffered from mental health disorders. This represents approximately 10% of the world’s population, or 1 in every 10 people.

Lifetime Occurrence of Mental Illness

Mental Illness is a Significant Problem

50%

One in every two people experience mental illness in their lifetime. (OECD Mental Health data)

Burden of Mental Illness

There has been an 6.5% increase in Disability Adjusted Life Years and 8.2% increase in Years Lived with Disability for Mental Health and Substance Disorders since 2003.(Australian Burden of Disease Study, 2023)

Unmet Needs for Mental Care

6/10

60% of patients in the OECD lack adequate access to care due to financial reasons, wait times, or transport. (A New Benchmark for Mental Health Systems, OECD, 2021)

Defining the Challenge:

Currently both patients and clinicians lack the insights to understand and treat the fundamental biology underlying mental illness

“When someone struggling with mental health seeks help currently they are provided almost no information about the biology that is causing the problem. We believe we can achieve more than looking at questionnaires alone”

Dr Clarissa Yates, CEO
