Mental health care is an essential component of all health care. Before COVID-19, there was on average only one psychiatrist to serve 200,000 people across half the world. When COVID-19 increased the burden of psychiatric illness, it left millions without the therapy and medications they need to lead fulfilling lives, and in many cases, survive.
