Sadly not . The millions around the world who are struggling with mental ill health are not getting the support they need , even in countries where support is free .

Wysa ’ s report showed a third of working 16 – 65 year olds experience moderate to severe depression or anxiety symptoms – much higher than the estimated figure . Worryingly , more than half in the UK and USA , and one third in Australia , have not spoken to a healthcare professional .

The inability to self-diagnose severity , time constraints , embarrassment , or not wanting to be prescribed medicine continue to prevent access to care .

Access to care in countries across the globe is not always easy to come by , whether that ’ s due to location , provision , education or waiting lists .

This is causing unnecessary suffering that is having a personal , social and economic toll , as we see symptoms that started out as minor deteriorating into something more serious , which carries with it risk .

With clinical efficacy proven at around 30 – 40 % symptom reductions ,
