It is estimated that people who suffer from sever mental illness for example, severe depression,bipolar disorder and schizophrenia are more likely to die prematurely than those who are not affected.The problems of mental health are expected to affect at least 1 of 3 people all over their life time.

mental health problems are projected to affect at least one in three people over their lifetime.4 Furthermore, it is estimated that people with sev

ere mental illness (eg, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder and severe depression) are 60% more likely to die prematurely than those unaffected.5 Such high prevalence also has major economic consequences. It is estimated that mental ill-health will cost the global economy $16.3 trillion between 2011 and 20306 which has serious implications for socioeconomic development and standards of living. Despite this global picture, stigma, governmental apathy and other barriers to treatment persist, exacerbating the current state of mental healthcare worldwide
