Today in London at a forum about the global depression
crisis, former UN secretary general Kofi Annan called for the tackling of
depression to be made a global priority. Issues raised at the forum include:
- a widespread failure to recognise the scale of the
problem, and put in place resources to overcome it.
- The WHO estimate depression is already the leading
cause of disability worldwide - and set to rise.
- The NHS should be reorganised in such a way that
physical and mental health issues are treated concurrently, not separately as
they are now.
