The Impact of Economic Growth on Global Mental Health

January 20, 2025 - 13:23

The Impact of Economic Growth on Global Mental Health

A recent report titled The Burnout Economy: Poverty and Mental Health by UN Special Rapporteur on extreme poverty and human rights, Olivier De Schutter, sheds light on a pressing issue: the relentless pursuit of economic growth may be contributing to a worldwide mental health crisis. This crisis is particularly severe for marginalized communities, who bear the brunt of an economic model that values profit over people.

The report argues that the obsession with financial metrics leads to increased stress, anxiety, and depression among those struggling to make ends meet. As societies prioritize economic expansion, they often neglect the essential social services and mental health support that vulnerable populations require. The findings suggest that the relentless drive for growth not only exacerbates poverty but also undermines the mental well-being of individuals.

As the world grapples with these challenges, it becomes increasingly clear that a reevaluation of our economic priorities is necessary. Balancing growth with a commitment to mental health and social equity could pave the way for a healthier, more sustainable future.
