Poor Mental Health Costs UK £300 Billion Every Year Says New Study | Vantage with Palki Sharma

Mental illness is costing the United Kingdom £300 billion every year. A report concluded that the cost of mental illness in 2022 is equal to almost double the NHS’s complete £153 billion 2022 budget. It highlighted that this number can even be considered an underestimate as not all impacts of mental health issues were taken into consideration. While mental health makes up just 9% of NHS expenses, even though it occupies 23% of the "burden of disease". So what is behind UK's rising mental health crisis? What can the NHS do about it? Why is UK not dealing with this growing crisis? Palki Sharma tells you.
