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.
