HO) stating that 10% of the global burden of disease is related to mental, neurological and substance use disorders. In low-and middle-income countries, more than 75% of people with mental disorders receive no treatment at all for their disorder. During 2020, as a result of the global pandemic, 93% of countries reported their mental health services were either halted or interrupted (WHO, 2020e). WHO reported a 25% increase in depression and anxiety alone during the pandemic. The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development estimates depression and anxiety cost the global economy US $1 trillion dollars a year. All nurses have a health care role in mental health and substance use. ICN strongly advocates for the investment of further education and professional development in this area in order to support individuals and communities achieve the highest attainable standard of health which includes
physical, mental and social wellbeing.

santé mentale sont très répandus. Selon les données de l'Organisation mondiale de la Santé (OMS), environ une personne sur huit dans le monde vit avec un trouble mental (OMS, 2022a). Les troubles mentaux sont la principale cause d'incapacité, entraînant 1 année sur 6 vécues avec une incapacité (OMS, 2022a).
Les personnes atteintes de troubles mentaux graves meurent en moyenne 10 à 20 ans plus tôt que la population générale, principalement en raison de maladies physiques évitables. Des circonstances défavorables, notamment la pauvreté, inégalités sociales et économiques, urgences de santé publique, guerres et crise climatique, font partie des menaces structurelles mondiales pour la santé mentale, entraînant un risque plus élevé de souffrance de problèmes de santé mentale.
