The Mental Health Challenge in Europe
Europe faces a significant and growing mental health challenge, affecting all age groups and social strata. Even before the COVID-19 pandemic, about 1 in 6 people in the EU suffered from mental health issues, with the economic cost estimated at over 4% of GDP—more than €600 billion annually across the EU and UK. The pandemic, along with other stressors such as the war in Ukraine, climate change, unemployment, and digital pressures, has exacerbated mental health problems, especially among children and young people.
Rising Prevalence: Mental health conditions have increased by up to 25% since the pandemic, with children, adolescents, and young people particularly at risk.
Access Gaps: Almost half of young Europeans report unmet mental health care needs, and one out of every two people with a mental health issue did not seek professional help
Socio-economic Inequalities: Depression and other mental health problems are more prevalent among women and those with lower income and education levels
Workforce Shortages: There is a growing shortage of mental health professionals across Europe, hindering access to care
