One in four people will require mental health care at some point in their lives but in many countries only two per cent of all health sector resources are invested in mental health services, according to the World Health Organisation's Mental Health Atlas 2011, released on the eve of the World Mental Health Day, celebrated worldwide on 10 October. 'Average global spending on mental health is still less than US$3 per capita per year,' said the Atlas, adding that 'In low income countries, expenditure can be as little as US$0.25 per person per year.'
