(first paragraph) Mental and neurological disorders affect more than 450 million people globally, causing substantial disability rates
and suffering and making major contributions to the world’s total disease burden. About 13 percent of disability-adjusted life years (or DALYs, a measure of the amount of health lost due to a particular disease or condition) are due to mental
and neurological disorders.
