The evidence suggests that the U.K., among other high-income countries, is in the midst of a mental health crisis. A recent report by the Mental Health Network, found that 19 percent of adults had been diagnosed with depression at some point in their lives, while as many as one in four people experience a mental health problem in any given year. Even more worryingly, mental illness is high among the young, suggesting that the burden on the NHS and other social services will grow in the years to come.
