discussed. and i'll be back with the full news one down in just on the and i'll, i'll see you that 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 and is $1.00 of the most common forms of mental illness in 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 of 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 in 2021. the younger generation are struggling with mental health as a cobit pandemic. disruptive, 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 has to sidle pressures, economic uncertainties, and the fast pace nature of modern life. creating the perfect storm. the cost and 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 under estimate the ripple effects on families, communities, and the overall economy. one mental health is neglected. approximately 6 to 7 percent of full time us workers experience major depression disorder,

or m d d. 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 or 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 evolved over the years? and are there identifiable patterns or factors contributing to these changes? yeah, there were an additional $53.00. want 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 space. lots of people can encourage us to be happy. but if we look closely at the science, we look closely in reliance, we can big but be, i 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 work for them is depression, leads to higher suicide rates, higher health care spending, low balled light or work on duty. 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 last productivity and disability claims for organizations, we tend to think about depression like an individual and on a case by case basis and that one of the things individuals and or their families, our loved ones. the truth is it affects all of us, whether we're diagnosed with clinical depression or anxiety or not. you're right. it has um, economic cost and other cost that's trans and the individual trends in the family and actually affect us as a country. and as, as a world, um, 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 and the problems of depression across different countries are regions. i think the united states, we do tend to consistently right low with respect to happiness and time to start to depression, things are going to be for developed countries in our thoughts. that being said, the problems of depression rates varies across different demographics. so for instance, the women and children were disproportionately affected with respect to depression and anxiety around lots of factors that contribute to lots that are depression, on one hand and happiness on the other. you know, so i think consistently, lots of countries in europe and south america and even in our rig, fire and happiness, the united states for lots of reasons. some of those factors have to do with house . and one of we think the culture is surprisingly enough. so let's do the politics . so a lots of countries to get more, for example,

maybe switzerland or even sweden. when folks are taxed at pretty much the same rates and say your tax credit, but you know, maybe approximately 50 percent. everybody makes pretty much the same amount of money or source enough to the same amount of money. so there's people choose careers as a result of that. because the last 4 of your passion about doing x, y, and z, as opposed to choosing careers, offered surely monetary, materialistic reasons. and so that means that later in life, they've generally happier progressions they've jose and also sometimes their health care benefits and other i'm so so, so to walker problems that are put in place for people. so gonna have to worry about things like losing their job is much like health care. i those things matter a great deal to people. so anywhere that people feel a lot, i'm a bit more sense of trust rachel connected and not so late, but it's only proceeded understood, and they're taken care of by the government. this tests are going to report higher levels of happiness and lower lives and depression. and relatively speaking with

countries that don't do those things. i'm so well, we're focused on other programs or other level guess initiatives, how to cultural and societal factors influence the understanding and reporting of depression in various parts of the world and to look for the news. depression, we see the higher suicide rates, our health care spending, or one of life, or more productivity and more. and how often, inconsistently answer freely people, on one hand report a symptoms of depression, anxiety, defense, the largest stance on how accept that is and, and even celebrate is but this part of the country. so there's always a lot of stigma around the depression and anxiety that there isn't boxed parts of the world or within particular since he got an orange status levels or within the doctor. different 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 from are the

valley view room corner board. but for the kids to digital, excuse me, any of the went go to come across the 1 of january or people just federally. you said the deadline after the run and i mean if it isn't you waiting for my car for you the yamaha. yup. and use because it shares from bumper to your phone to, to confirm seductive show for the growth show . here's a new book, the solution solution, the newest or

exactly was taken to sit 3 and i was about, i know this is cryptic through amazon. i was part of the leading the kids i'm, we just found as though it's empty just finished. the

release of come to the russian states. never as tight as i'm sort of the most sense community best. nothing was all sense and up the in the 6595 and speaking. what else calls question about this? even though we will ben in the european union, the kremlin machine for states on the rush for the day and split the ortiz full neck, even our video agency, roughly all the band on youtube. the question, did you say it's a request which is the

while? depression is a growing problem, world wide ukraine 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. and nations 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. 8 is 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. in 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 training 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 covey, 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 pole at 3.2 percent. and now we're joined again by author and pauses. psychology expert, robert mac to discuss a 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, or the cost of healthcare itself, treatments, medication therapy, things of that nature. the indirect costs gonna be. we things like harmon hookups, overall loss of income and potential long term disability. when you're depressed,

you're often using the last, the motivation to show up to work. you need to take these 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 maintain it, consistently healthy mood is going to also attack people around you is going to take your ability to be productive to think creatively, to show up and be efficient and effective. and what you do at your job, what are the financial considerations for individuals taking treatment for depression, including therapy and medication costs, is studious deep nature costs 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 see that's another factors but also on other things like our gender and race and ethnicity and culture as well. people with lower incomes and

people who have 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. and so more design is result of that. they're going to feel more help with some more list. 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 studies like the global burden of disease?

so we provide good sites in the countries with higher rates of depression really indicated a 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 or you know, depression, anxiety or another not to disorder and also being treated for it. it seems like as id and depression are quite prevalent in our society today. but where is 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,

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 that or see which one is your life in a way that makes it difficult to get to the day. when you find it difficult to find interesting things that you normally have interest in. when you find it difficult to sleep, so you're speaking to the order seeking too much, you just want to always be asleep. things of this nature. what are some of the criteria that a mental health professionals use to diagnose the clinical depression? the depression is really something that goes way beyond the 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 spread to year to date. you know, so that you, for, to determine whether or not, what your experience is or normal unhealthy,

or requires a deeper or greater form of treatment therapy, your medication. and so, yes, the depression is significantly different from the normal responses that we all so so now you know, for what we're experiencing other challenges or a person your life. we've got businesses use the usual psychology on one hand. and that's what we used to diagnose. clinical disorders, depression, anxiety, we've got pauses, i called you and the other handed mostly focused on as to how it together. they treat a science that lets us see clearly what leads to happiness because after this work, it's the way of it. and what piece of depression design instead and on it. so there's, there's no question about it. there's a way we live here in the united states presents unique challenges to feeling consistently a piece to feeling satisfied with your life. i'm definitely 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. and lots of ways that 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 a variety of thoughts about the diversity as long as it's taken presented for folks who are unable to maintain or hold kind of a distance, which is just the stress and anxiety 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 dealing with the individual listed somewhere. it works with a collectivist. and what that essentially means is that we have decided to have this self made person which can be really inspiring one. and it also can be put on very low be on the other. and they can also blame themselves when they're not successful, or they're not driving. and then we add into that a lot of the technological factors, um, like social media and being so available online, you can see that it was lives 2 decades ago. you could only really understand our

seats 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 can set you up for unhappiness, even depression, anxiety as you begin to compare and contrast your 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 like the easy way out, i would rather take a pill then to solve these problems and therapy. i am 50, i thanks for watching and we'll see you right back here next time on the cost of everything the

by the early 1950. can you became one of the centers of resistance to colonialism. east africa. the british invaders infringed on the most basic rights of the local population. great britain pursued the policy of squeezing out the local population from their indigenous lands. the best airable areas were given to white farmers, dooming canyon stepfather, d, and hunger. this caused a sharp protest of the peasants and led to the emerging of the mile mile movement, which started the play against the invaders. the rebels felt themselves canyon land and freedom army. the spiritual leader of the movement would be anti colonial,

active as jo, mo kenyatta, the freedom fighters used guerrilla tactics and attacked individual units of the greatest troops. the latter responded with massive air raids and artillery effects . when suppressing the uprise of london relied on the maximum cruelty over $50000.00 canyons were killed. about 300000 people were thrown into prisons and concentration camps, where tortures in no way inferior in girl z to the nazis was widely practiced. the veracity of the colonial list only led the temporary success. in 1963, the british empire had to recognize the independence of gain. yet, however, the colonial regime left behind a trail of blood and wound so that the canyon nation has not recovered from on sale . now, the

position i would suggest in belgrade was suggesting that we send americans in and uh, the bridges on the drain that on your bill is us have been obama, most of dining room probably now, and they'll talk to him, but it's done when he is here. all the owners will tell you that it will save you from us across, as you know, it was on your middle series or what on your file? a possibility. and this was all it does in this one is know that the guy, the source or say don't mushroom around noon and babies, you know, a lot less radioactive. the something is active uranium, but still it's radioactive. as talks themselves they can tell you the laptop. you want me to kind of see so either of us here again, let's see the echo seats. the boeing good. i don't know those huge

a mold was suggesting we pharma fell great bill. call us what they were just the she's a fresh look around his life. july to school, so it gives him just a shifted reality distortion by power to vision with no real opinions. fixtures designed to simplify will confuse who really wants a better wills, and is it just as a chosen few fractured images presented as 1st. can you see through their illusion going underground can the

the the most lights the most that much of the

just exactly escape the rest of the .
