World Mental Health Day: 39% say they have had to take time off work due to stress in the past year

Ipsos says While 78% think mental health is as important as physical health, only 34% globally say their country’s healthcare system treats them equally.

Sixty-two per cent say in the past year their daily life has been disrupted due to stress and 39% say they have had to take time off work in the last 12 months because of stress.

Drawing on three years of trend data, the Ipsos World Mental Health Day survey explores changes in how people feel about their own mental health, the factors that are impacting their mental wellbeing, and sets this against the backdrop of the broader healthcare environment.
