ACMH-2026

The Global Burden of Mental Health Disorders: Why ACMH-2026 Matters

Mental health is no longer a peripheral concern—it is a global health priority. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), mental health conditions account for 16% of the global burden of disease in people aged 10–19. Disorders such as depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia not only reduce life expectancy but also impact social, educational, and economic outcomes worldwide.

Despite this, mental health care remains grossly underfunded and underserved in many parts of the world. There are significant treatment gaps, stigma-driven underreporting, and a lack of trained professionals to address the growing need for comprehensive, culturally sensitive mental health services.

Why ACMH-2026 Is Crucial

The 6th Annual Congress on Mental Health (ACMH-2026), scheduled for February 16–17, 2026 in Paris, France, serves as a vital international platform to address these critical issues. Under the theme “Making Mental Health a Global Priority”, ACMH-2026 aims to bring together mental health professionals, policymakers, researchers, NGOs, and patient advocates to drive forward-thinking solutions.

This congress is not just a meeting—it's a movement. ACMH-2026 provides a space to share real-world success stories, analyze policy interventions, explore innovative research, and encourage global cooperation to improve mental health outcomes.

The Economic & Social Toll of Inaction

The economic cost of untreated mental illness is estimated to be over $1 trillion per year globally in lost productivity. But beyond the numbers, the human cost is immeasurable. Suicide remains a leading cause of death among young people. Families are affected, communities are disrupted, and opportunities for growth and development are lost.

ACMH-2026 addresses these concerns by tackling the systemic and clinical aspects of mental health—from early intervention and digital psychiatry to trauma care and community-based services.
