It is estimated that people who suffer from sever mental illness for example, severe depression,bipolar disorder and schizophrenia[3] are more likely to die prematurely than those who are not affected.The problems of mental health are highly prevalent globally, affecting people across all regions of the world as it is expected to affect at least 1 of 3 people all over their life time[4][5]. Also

there are major economic consequences of this high prevalence.Around $16.3 trillion was estimated to be the cost of mental ill- health globally between 2011 and 2030 [6] and this has serious implications on standers of livings and socioeconomic development[7]. There are many barriers in treating mental illness for example,stigma,discrimination [8][3] and governmental apathy[7] which exacerbating the current state of mental healthcare all over the world.
