As of 2001 (understand it has since been promoted to number one cause from a predicted number two):
Over the years, we have followed the evolution of new knowledge and evidence.We now have a clear picture of the burden of disease arising from mental disorders. In the World Health Report 2001 that we devote to mental health, we bring updated figures which show that four of the ten leading causes of disability worldwide are neuropsychiatric disorders, accounting for 30.8% of total disability and 12.3% of the total burden of disease.This latter figure is expected to rise to 15% by the year 2020.The rise will be particularly sharp in developing countries primarily due to the projected increase in the number of individuals entering the age of risk for these disorders and as a result of social problems and unrest, including the rising number of persons affected by violent conflicts, civil wars, displacements and disasters. If we take the example of depression which is currently ranked fourth among the 10 leading causes of the global burden of disease, it is predicted that by the year 2020, it will have jumped to second place. Major depression is linked to suicide. Most people who commit suicide are also clinically depressed. If we take suicide into account, then the already huge burden associated with depression increases much more.
