Main barriers to access to care

Costs

For the more than 30 million

U.S. adults who do not receive

the mental health services they

need, 45% cite cost as a barrier

to mental health care.

Lack of mental health professionals

Social stigma

There is only one psychiatrist per

100 000 people in over half the

countries in the world.

Many people will avoid seeking

help for fear of facing

discrimination in social and

professional circles.
