It shows that while prevalence of mental health disorders can vary by sex, women are disproportionately impacted overall.

Suicide remains a devastating outcome, claiming an estimated 7,27,000 lives in 2021 alone, said the new findings published in two reports — World mental health today and Mental Health Atlas 2024.

Highlighting that suicide is the third leading cause of death among people aged 15-29 years worldwide and disproportionately affects marginalized populations, the report said suicide accounts for more than one in every 100 deaths (1.1%) globally.
