Mental illness in Australia is now at alarming levels, and is getting worse. Environmental influences such as COVID-19 and extreme weather events contribute to a sudden rise in mental health conditions such as anxiety and depression.

1 in 5 Australian adults had a chronic mental illness pre-COVID-19*, following the pandemic 4 in 5 Australians now report poor mental health and 34% of Australians said their mental health had declined in the pandemic.¹

The consequences of exposure to such extreme or prolonged events can also be delayed, increasing the risk of posttraumatic stress disorder, or transmission to later generations.^2,3

We urgently need a new treatment paradigm for mental illness which can address this growing public health crisis.

The Scale of the Mental Health Problem in Australia
