Mental health: one of the major challenges of the 21st century?

Clémentine LamarreBpifranceResponsable sectorielle Santé
Description
Today, in France, mental health conditions account for 14 per cent of healthcare expenditure and are the leading cause of disability among 15–25-year-olds. Yet, despite the proven benefits of early intervention, waiting times for treatment often remain very long. So how can we better identify the early warning signs from tomorrow onwards? Through destigmatisation, training and digital innovations, mental health care is taking on a new form.
