I appreciate these shares! I found the following statistics, that in my opinion strongly supports the need for mental health-related education in schools. Sorry the stats are only for the US, not world.

• “1 in 5 young people suffer from a mental illness, that’s 20 percent of our population but yet only about 4 percent of the total health care budget is spent on our mental health.” – source Mental Disorders - Teen Mental Health

• “Approximately 1 in 5 adults in the U.S.—43.8 million, or 18.5%—experiences mental illness in a given year.” - source www.nami.org
