Around 32 personal of adults have symptoms of anxiety and depression, and in young adults (aged 18 to 24), the situation is particularly serious—with around 50 personal reporting battling these conditions.

Factors such as inflation, remote work, the pressure to find employment, and money issues are some of the top stressors for people across the globe.
