Australia, the lucky country... with good employment prospects, a high standard of living, wonderful health care and beaches, bush, and landscapes the envy of the world. However Australia’s poor mental health is a national health crisis that demands our attention. We have the second highest incidence of depression in the world Nearly 3.5 million Australians suffer from a form of anxiety The leading cause of death in individuals aged 15 to 44 is suicide, with young tradesmen 70% more likely to take their own lives than males employed in other industries. We are losing too many spirited and warm people to suicide and depression, watching families torn apart by chronic anxiety and lives severely affected by conditions like schizophrenia and bipolar disorder.
