By 2020, depression would jump to be the second greatest cause of death and disability worldwide, following ischemic heart disease, the United Nations health agency predicted. 'We know that 70 percent of those suffering from major depression can fully recover if properly treated.' - DR. BENEDETTO SARACENO WHO WHO officials attributed the projected rise in depression to factors including more stressful lifestyles, poverty and violence. Alzheimer's disease, a debilitating dementia which hits the elderly, is expected to increase as people live longer. They spoke at a news briefing to launch WHO's 2001 campaign aimed at removing myths and stigmas linked to such disorders, whose slogan is "Stop exclusion - Dare to care." "This (campaign) is overdue, given that mental health is a major cause of disability, family and community distress and loss of production," said WHO's Dr. Derek Yach. Dr. Benedetto Saraceno, director of WHO's department of mental health and substance dependence, said: "Mental health disorders, neurological diseases is a major public health concern worldwide. There is a common myth that mental health problems are those of rich, industrialized countries, a luxury. "But mental and neurological problems are equally important in rich and poor countries," he added. 400 MILLION SUFFERERS Some 400 million people today suffer from mental and neurological disorders worldwide, according to Saraceno. "Unipolar major depression is today considered fifth in the ranking of major causes of disability and it is expected to jump to second place in 2020," he said. At present, depression is the fifth leading cause of death and disability, while ischemic heart disease trails in sixth place, according to the Geneva-based WHO. The table is currently topped by acute lower respiratory infections, according to the WHO which says infectious diseases are generally expected to fall. Depression, often genetic, hits roughly twice as many women as men, according to WHO experts. The Americas and Western Pacific regions - essentially the United States and Japan - have the most victims of depression, with the lowest rates in Africa, according to Saraceno. "Surveys in Brazil, Zimbabwe, India and Chile show the more impoverishment - measured by hunger, level of debt and education - the higher the prevalence of common mental disorders," said Yach, a South African. Advertisement Mental and neurological disorders represent 11 percent of the "global burden of disease," a figure based on mortality and disability, according to Saraceno. The figure is expected to represent 14 percent in 2020, he said. Saraceno: "The good news is that mental health treatment does not require very expensive infrastructure." "We know that 70 percent of those suffering from major depression can fully recover if properly treated," he added. "We can expect a decrease in suicides if we are properly treating depressed people." ONE MILLION SUICIDES Globally, there are one million suicides a year out of a total of 10 million attempts, he added. The top 10 countries for suicide are composed of all former Soviet Union states, led by Russia, where many are reeling in economic and social upheaval.

Well a pill costs $80.00 each for cancer patients - which is $2,400 a month or so for warding off nausea, etc. from chemothehrapyyet a man died in prison who was denied marijuana which is grown in the back yard free if necessary - he died in agony and painanyone going through chemotherapy knows how ill - deathly ill, one can become. So now is the time like in days of Al Capone - made big bucks selling illegal booze and then came God, who said Let There Be Beer..whie Lucky Luciano to the day of his death, supported your local WCTU with the hope they would return to prohibition. Look at some of these new rich - like this one man now a billionaire - everytime big drug bus his stock on wall street flopped - but now, with all his billions he is given tab abatement? The pore million and billionaires.they are now buying and have since 1964, into the drug companies...you see JFK was having all the drug companies investigated to 1930 before he was murdered..know this one man who became millionaire bying into drug company after JFK murdered in the streets of Dallas, in the open a high 12 murder.
