Mental health
In 2001, the World Health Organization predicted that depression would be “the second leading cause of world disability” by 2020. That was before anyone knew anything about the impact COVID-19 would have on mental health. By the year 2030, it is expected to be the largest contributor to disease burden.
THE REAL ISSUES WITH MENTAL HEALTH
Depression is frequently linked to cardiovascular disease, diabetes, cancer and chronic respiratory diseases – and this co-morbidity has become a major global concern. The thing is – depression is only one of the many mental illnesses that affect approximately 1 in 4 people worldwide.
Anxiety disorders – which encompass generalised anxiety disorder (GAD), panic disorder, phobias, social anxiety disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) – are also highly prevalent.
Nearly two-thirds of people with a known mental disorder never seek help from a health professional. Yet, most are highly treatable.
Our approach is therefore, two-fold
Eliminating the stigma around mental illness
Helping members build their mental health literacy
This is a highly personalised intervention delivered with warmth and empathy and tailored to people’s mental health needs.
- A more connected and engaged workforce – happier employees and less sick days
- Fewer claims – as people are encouraged to take control of their mental health, no matter their rating
- People who need additional help can be identified and pointed in the right direction
