Poor Mental Health Costs UK £300 Billion Every Year Says New Study | Vantage with Palki Sharma

Mental illness is costing the United Kingdom £300 billion every year. A report concluded that the cost of mental illness in 2022 is equal to almost double the NHS’s complete £153 billion 2022 budget. It highlighted that this number can even be considered an underestimate as not all impacts of mental health issues were taken into consideration. While mental health makes up just 9% of NHS expenses, even though it occupies 23% of the “burden of disease”. So what is behind UK’s rising mental health crisis? What can the NHS do about it? Why is UK not dealing with this growing crisis? Palki Sharma tells you.

    Mental health crises are rife in every country in the world. Why pick on the UK to focus on this problem? Something to do with the British Raj and sour grapes, no doubt.

    Ok so what ?. In modern day world every one is facing mental health issues doesn't matter if its western countries. Atleast western countries has system where students can get support for this kind of issues and problems. In india no one talks about this problems , students are mostly affect by this mental health traumas but you guys want to highlights the problems of uk rather than focusing on condition of indian students here , we don't even have system where we can get help and support for this kind of things.

    Hardly surprising as employers nationwide have been given carte blanche by successive governments to run their employees into the ground with excessively long hours. I work with employees of dozens of companies across the country and the expectation to work long and/or unsocial hours for poor renumeration is pretty common.
