One in every four people develops some form of mental disorder at some point in their life according to the World Health Organisation (WHO). However the people who seek treatment for psychiatric problems are only tip of the iceberg despite mental illness being the most common cause of disability in the western world. Actually it is more common than heart disease, diabetes or cancer. The common reasons for not seeking psychiatric treatment are stigma, ignorance and not finding time due to getting caught up with work, family commitments and emotional stressors. Moreover many mental disorders cause fatigue, which can also contribute to not seeking help.
