territories here for him on call for emergency variables. then after public officials and experts from russia and africa have been sitting down to brainstorm cooperation in johannesburg. the south african city host of the session of the st. petersburg, international economic form for the 1st time ever are to use novel you can get has the details from the scene. so that's the kind of shows savvy of russia within the breaks group of countries, which is hosted a few fission for the st. petersburg, international economy. par him for the 1st time if they've been supposed to give a leading decision makers from different states is to identify opportunities for russia. so the free time as the developing economies. this is of course, as we are just 2 months away from the annual conference in st. petersburg, widely seen as an occasion for attracting foreign investors, as well as an alternative to the world economy farms. specifically for promoting

emerging during these decades. busy busy for a history of st. petersburg, international economic for him. for sure, it becomes the one of the major world events in the world of business and the main events in russia and form. for example, the last year results gives us details that we got the present interest of business men all over the world. why russia? why some petersburg wide is for? it's very easy. it's about deals. it's about looking at big possibilities, signing deals, a mock best experience being there is getting africans is basically the energy sector to deal with it on why it's being hosted in. so that's what god organizes say. they've seen a mutual interest and understand that in order to continue a food full dialogue, it is necessary to use new formats and then apply to you've been like this one is one of those 4 minutes of the fuel station emphasize the partnership made some

relations between west side of africa for fluid expansion of trade and economy corporations, particularly stick to such as agriculture, technology, and education. participants making me to that. so that because relationship with russia is again changed. what speed does is to bring s b not in the works, to give us an opportunity to engage and to try and decode on those all on a commitment to try and, and then to do away with all i caught them being on the imbedded to the west, so that we begin to take into excellent implementation mode. we are here today a, a because of a strong relationship and tries that we formed through our bricks is through is our being within brakes is, is the technology exchange as well. and you choose the, which is the, i see cheap, reduce the infrastructure and academics. so this height law in with a,

it's russia. oh, so that's your account. all the issues such as the breaks and consensus has emerged from this event in hong see, cooperation mckenna's and seen emerge from economy. ok, see i'm on the internet. all right, that's good for me for now. but to stay with us, my colleague, nicky, aaron, will be in next in less than half an hour. now with more of the day stuff, new stories about the mental health is something that's been getting a lot of buzz recently. ever since the pandemic. everyone is prioritizing it, demanding that others respect it and many are using it as an excuse to just take a break from reality. but there is a difference between wanting and mental health break and actually suffering from depression. i'm christy,

and you're watching the costs of everything more today. we're going to be talking about mental health and unraveling the intricacies of depression and anxiety, and the staggering costs that they impose on our society. the depression is one of the most common forms of mental illness and the world with about 280000000 people worldwide suffering from it. the national institute of mental health estimates that $21000000.00 us adults had at least one major depressive episode, which represents around 8.3 percent in the us. adult population symptoms include a loss of interest in things that used to be enjoyable. lots of energy, feelings of worthlessness and guilt, difficulty concentrating, anxiety and thoughts of death or suicide. depression is more common among women than men, with the most common age between 18 to 25 years old. depression is also common

among youth with up to 29 percent of teenage girls and almost 12 percent of teenage boys experiencing a major depressive episode and 2021. the younger generation are struggling with mental health. as a cobit pandemic disrupted pivotal periods of growth for young adults which have left them more susceptible to the drivers of depression. young adults reported higher rates of depression than any other age group and the greatest increase in recent years. the depression and anxiety are on the rise, and there are multifaceted reasons behind this increase. you have to sidle pressures, economic uncertainties, and the fast pace nature of modern life. creating the perfect storm. the cost in connectivity and information overload also plays a significant role in amplifying stressors. technology introduces new challenges as constant exposure of security and versions of others live on social media. can foster feelings of inadequacy. so finding a healthy balance in our digital lives is crucial. the economic tool of depression

is staggering from last productivity in the workplace to increased health care expenditures. the financial impact is substantial. we often underestimate the ripple effects on families, communities, and the overall economy. one mental health is big collected. approximately 6 to 7 percent of full time us workers experience major depression disorder or mtv. within the past year, the total economic burden of us adults with n d. d was estimated at $210000000000.00. workplace costs accounted for the largest portion of the growing economic burden. as m d. d leads to absenteeism and present p is um, where there is reduced productivity while at work. this results in reduced educational obtainment, lower earnings potential, higher unemployment, and increase work disability. 45 percent of the total costs are due to direct medical costs such as therapy, outpatient, and inpatient medical services,

pharmaceuticals, etc. the economic ripples of m. d. d are extensive for every dollar spent on treating depression and additional $4.70 is spent on direct and indirect costs. a related illnesses and another $1.90 is spent on reduced workplace productivity. and now today we're joined by officer. i'm positive psychology expert, robert mac to discuss some more. and so how has the prevalence of depression involved over the years? and are there identifiable patterns or factors contributing to these changes? yeah, there were an additional $53.00 when to make use of anxiety, an additional 76200000 case of major depressive disorder in 2020 and according to the global burden, disease study, lots of socio economic, cultural, and other factors or play there. i would say that women and children are and have been consistently,

it's hardest. we mostly think that something outside of us or someone outside of us can or will make us happy. lots of these lots of people can encourage us to be happy. but if we look closely at the science and we look closely in reliance, we can big would be. i've noticed that people who seem to have everything are often deeply depressed, least unhappy and obviously as i what are the societal costs associated with uncreated or poorly managed depression and treated or before the news? depression leads to higher suicide rates. higher health care spending work was life or work activity, and so much more can you discuss some of the broader economic implications of depression, including its impact on workforce productivity and health care expenditures. depression have significant economic implications in direct cost like therapy and medication for individuals and indirect costs, like las productivity and disability claims. for rotations, we tend to think about depression like an individual and on a case by case basis. and that it only takes individuals and or their families,

our loved ones. the truth is it affects all of us, whether we're diagnosed with a critical depression, anxiety or not, you're right. it has um, economic cost and other cost that's to transcend the individual trans end of the family and actually affect us as a country and as as a world. so yeah, the question of depression goes beyond what any particular individual experiences and it touches all of this in one way or another. and are there a notable variations in the prevalence of depression across different countries or regions? i think the united states, we do tend to consistently make low with respect to happiness and high with respect to depression, anxiety therapy for developed countries in our thoughts. that being said, the problems of depression rates varies across different demographics. so for instance, irrelevant demik, women and children were disproportionately affected with respect to depression and anxiety are of lots of factors that contribute to lots that are depression or one handed evidence on the other. you know, so i think consistently,

lots of countries in europe and south america and even in our rig fire in happiness, the united states for lots of reasons. some of those factors have to do with house or model. we think the culture is surprisingly enough. so let's do the politics. so a lots of countries take them more, for example, maybe switzerland or even sweden when folks are taxed at pretty much the same rate . so let's say your tax credit. uh no, i'm gonna be approximately 50 percent. everybody makes pretty much the same amount of money or so it's enough to the same amount of money so that people choose careers as a result of that. because the last 4 of your passionate about doing x, y, and z, as opposed to choosing priest for surely monetary mature list of reasons. and so that means that later in life, they've generally happier progressions they've chose also sometimes their health care benefits and other i'm so so, so to welfare firms that are put in place for people. so gonna have to worry about things like losing their job as much like health care and those things that are

a great deal to people. so anywhere that people feel a lot of the works of trust rachel connected and not so late, but it's only proceeded understood, and they're taken care of and by the government. this tests are going to report higher levels of happiness and lower levels of depression, relatively speaking, with countries that don't do those things. i'm so well, we're focused on other programs or other people. i guess initiatives how to cultural into seidel factors influenced the understanding and reporting of depression in various parts of the world and to look for the news. depression, we see a higher suicide rates, our health care spending or on his life, or more productivity and more. and how often inconsistent leads are freely people. on one hand report, the symptoms of depression, anxiety depends the large extent on how to set that is and,

and even celebrate is within their country. so there's always a lot of stigma around the depression, anxiety that there was, and lots of parts of the world or within particular. so as you know now i can know what the status levels or within a particular races or the cities or even gender related differences to cost differences in reporting. it can also cost differences in diagnosis as well. thank you so much, robert, but please stick around. author, robert mac will stay with us right here after the break. and as we head into the break, we will explore if a nation's culture can deeply influence mental health and access to treatment or not state. and for mark the, the renters, i do this, but it's a bit of a cover letter. the question a little bit to me. and i know it's even though for me at the, the school goodness of, you know,

where you liked it. that was the issue. and that's been in them, we've had the simple data supposed to be able to be like for us to be on the brain in and go into the steps to it. the, the, what is part of it that the employee would pose good, isn't the defense you of us and that in the word or is it something deeper, more complex might be present? good. let's stop without cases. let's go out of the the the

while depression is a growing problem worldwide. your crane tops the list as a country with the highest rate of depression at 6.3 percent. this is followed by the us, australia and estonia at 5.9 percent, brazil at 5.8 percent and grease of 5.7 percent. a nation's culture can have a significant impact on both the mental health aspect of its population and the availability of treatment services. for example, while depression is relatively uncommon in japan, suicide rates are high for children and teens ages 10 to 19. this is most likely due to the pressure to do well in school and work in many asian cultures such as china, japan or korea. there is a concept of face which refers to one's reputation. mental health challenges are viewed as an individual problem or weakness, and talking openly about sadness,

disappointment, or depression is rarely encouraged. and some african culture such as nigeria gone or kenya. there is a belief in witchcraft which refers to the use of supernatural powers to cause harm or misfortune. people with mental health disorders may be accused of being which is or possessed by evil spirits, and may face ostracism from their family or community. in india, there's still a stigma and lack of mental health awareness. mental illness is not considered a disease, but a state of mind. this leads to a lack of trained professionals to service those who need it a. but luckily, in many countries, the stigma surrounding mental illnesses is gradually decreasing. this enables a more open discussion of mental illness and makes people more likely to seek help when they need it. since the start of cobra, 19 more companies are enhancing their mental health benefit offerings for employees . a survey of $256.00 companies found that since coven 53 percent of employers have

begun providing specific emotional and mental health programs for the workforce. these programs include free access to various health and wellness applications, video sessions with mental health counselors and stipends for psychological or physical health related services. meanwhile, countries with the lowest rates of depression include the solomon islands at 2.9 percent pipe. a new guinea, a 3 percent. micronesia at 3 point one percent. and the poll at 3.2 percent. and now we're joined again by author and pauses. psychology expert, robert mac to discuss some more to now robert, from an economic standpoint, what are the direct and indirect cost associated with depression for individuals? individuals based on the direct and indirect cost associated with depression. the direct costs, of course, are the cost of health care itself, treatment, medication therapy, things of that nature. the indirect costs going to be,

we'd be permanently expensive roth, loss of income and potential long term disability when you're depressed are often using black. the motivation to show up to work, you need to take days off, but also the way you do show up, do you tend to be disengaged and how does depression contribute to health care expenses, workplace, absenteeism, and disability claims. anything that would affect true motivation or usually just sort of maintain a consistently healthy mood, is going to also attack people around you. as in victor, really to be productive to think creatively, to show up and be efficient and effective. and what we do at your job, what are the financial considerations for individuals taking treatment for depression, including therapy and medication costs, as the is the nature cost for individuals out of pocket expenses for therapy, medications, and other types of treatment. are there disparities and access to mental health treatments based on social economic factors? there are significant disparities and access to mental health treatment. those are based mostly on so still academic factors but also on other things like our gender

and race and ethnicity and culture as well. people with lower incomes and people of health insurance based probably the greatest challenges with respect to those getting diagnosed with and getting treatment for depression, anxiety under other mental health disorders. lots of those folks who don't have access to health insurance and have lower incomes for lots of reasons that have directly to do with not having access to health insurance and not having enough money to pay the bills. maybe they are living below a level of subsistence, which means they can't pay for basic necessities are going to be under more stress . them are the ones that use result of that they're going to to more help with some more. was it so not only are they more subject often to experiencing symptoms of depression and anxiety, but they also have less access to doing anything about it unless it believes anything about it. and that can actually increase or make worse the depression, anxiety itself. and are there studies or rankings that identify countries with higher rates of depression and what factors might contribute to these variations?

just studies like the global burden of disease. so we provide insights into countries with higher rates of depression, really indicated a pin dentist impact on increasing the problems things that even depression. but there are course lots of factors that it also speaks to, including some of the things we mentioned before, which is sort of socio economic status, politics, culture, race, the city, gender, even, and even age. those things can all play a critical role. they both are getting diagnosed with depression, anxiety or another amount of disorder. and also being treated for it seems like anxiety and depression are quite prevalent in our society today. but where's the threshold for someone to be clinically diagnosed as depressed or suffering from high anxiety? and just someone who doesn't coldwell with stress and pressure and people diagnoses for depression is significantly different then in normal, healthy,

but often uncomfortable responses that we have to stress and adversity and the challenges of our everyday life. when you find it extraordinarily different that difficult and to respond to everyday life in a way that is other than healthy. in other words, you're showing up the response to this or see which ones your life in a way that makes it difficult to have the day. when you find it difficult to find interesting things that you normally have interest in. when you find a default to sleep, so you're saving too little orders thinking too much, you just want to always be asleep. things of this nature. what are some of the criteria that a mental health professional is used to diagnose the clinical depression? the depression is really something that goes way beyond sadness that goes way beyond your everyday stress. and it's a clinical diagnosis that you receive only from a mental health professional. and they have a checklist of frontier today. you know, so that you, for,

to determine whether or not, when your experience is of normal and healthy or requires a deeper or greater form of treatment of your medication. and so, yes, professionally, significantly different from the normal responses that we all. so some have, you know, for what we're experiencing other challenges or a personal life. we've got businesses, you as a usual psychology on one hand. and that's what we use to diagnose. clinical disorders, depression, anxiety, we've got positive, i called you the other hand, it mostly focused on mental health. but together they treat a science that lets us see clearly what leads to happiness because after this will get to the way of it and what piece of depression anxiety instead. and so there's, there's no question about it that the way we live here in the united states presents unique challenges to feeling consistently a piece to feeling satisfied with your life. i'm typically happy and can sometimes make it a lot easier to feel depressed and anxiety and stressed out and on other other

things. the speed at which we live is one of those factors. the diversity is actually a huge benefit and really fantastic in lots of ways can also be a challenge and not just diversity in terms of race and gender and, and religion. it was interesting but also to just the receive stocks and lots of diversity. it's not gonna say it's like a percentage of folks who are unable to maintain or hold calm distance, which is just the stress needs id of seeing or experiencing contradictory ways of living often. that's another example, i think also going to states we have a very individualistic culture. some cultures are can do with the individual listed somewhere. it works with a collectivist. and what that essentially means is that we have this idea of the self made person which can be really inspiring on one end. but it also can be people don't very lonely on the other. and they can also blame themselves when they're not successful, or they're not writing. and then we add into that a lot of it taking logical factors um, like social media and being so available online. it was,

it's yeah that it was lives you decades ago. you can only really understand receives people's lives. they told you about them. what was your next door neighbor? these days you can literally get a glimpse into millions of people's lives across the entire world. and that could set you up for unhappiness, even depression, anxiety as you begin to compare, contrast drew life in your day with millions of people's lives across the world. so we've got a lot of factors that can plan to the challenge that we face here in united states, specifically across the world as well. thank you so much, robert, for all your time today. for a while, depression is on the rise, the bright spot, and all of this is the pharmaceutical industry. yes. for every problem there seems to be a little pill that can make it all better. the anti depressant market is experiencing substantial growth, reaching an estimated value of $21800000000.00 by 2030, a surgeon prevalence and an increasing awareness towards mental health disorders

such as depression and anxiety are pivotal factors driving this expansion. the number of anti depressants prescribed per year, more than tripled over the past 2 decades, from 18400000 in 1998 to 70900000 in 2018. 50 for 7 percent of gen the years with mental health conditions are taking medications. and those who aren't on their parents insurance pay around $528.00 a year out of pocket for medication. north america is identified as retaining the largest market share. so the pharmaceutical industry ends up being the big winner, even though a reliance on pharmaceuticals to solve your problems. is it optimal? but unfortunately, people liked the easy way out and would rather take a pill then to solve these problems in therapy. i'm for 3. i thanks for watching and we'll see you right back here next time on the cost of everything. the,

[000:00:00;00] the after the nazis bower in italy, states foreign policy became extremely aggressive. benito mussolini needed glorious victories. he decided to achieve his ambitions in africa. despite the fact that formally libya had become an italian colony back in 1912. the vast territories of this country were not actually controlled by rome. the nazis decided to put an end to this. but as soon as the religious order of the senate side stood in their way,
