  2. MENTAL HEALTH STATISTICS • As many as 450 million people suffer from a mental or behavioral disorder. • Nearly 1 million people commit suicide every year. • Four of the six leading causes of years lived with disability are due to • neuropsychiatric disorders (depression, alcohol-use disorders, schizophrenia • and bipolar disorder). • One in four families has at least one member with a mental disorder. Family members are often the primary caregivers of people with mental disorders. The extent of the burden of mental disorders on family members is difficult to assess and quantify, and is consequently often ignored. However, it does have a significant impact on the family’s quality of life. • In addition to the health and social costs, those suffering from mental illnesses are also victims of human rights violations, stigma and discrimination, both inside and outside psychiatric institutions.
