In Mexico City, the amount of people experiencing depression, anxiety and other mental problems is very high. In fact 1/4sth of all Mexicans have been diagnosed with a psychiatric disorder. An American study showed that one in six had a psychiatric diagnosis. This study was done in several American cities, with the highest rates of mental health diagnosis occurring in Atlanta. Mexico City is twice as populated as Atlanta, but the rate of mental health issues are more common that one would imagine. A big problem in Mexico and the rest of Latin America is that there isn’t enough professionals to help all those who need it. This is where the tremendous potential of internet comes in to help those who need it most. Mexico has online therapy that uses the internet to help patients overcome mental health challenges.
Online therapy in Mexico City can be taken advantage of by anyone who is interested in it. Sometimes people are embarrassed to see a professional and prefer the anonymity of an online therapist, especially when there is no known treatment for their condition.
There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.

Mental Health in Mexico City
The 2016 World Health Organization (WHO) Mental Health Atlas reports 5.2 million people in Mexico City alone live with a mental health condition. These individuals are living with depression, anxiety, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and other disorders that the WHO classifies as “serious”.
It is reported that 3 out of 4 Mexican adults live with some form of mental illness, which affects their day-to-day life. The WHO Mental Health Atlas reports that while there are more women than men living with a mental health condition in Mexico, the gap between the number of males and females has narrowed considerably over the past decade thanks to increased awareness about mental health conditions among men. Unfortunately, though rates of suicide have decreased nationwide since 2007, suicide remains the leading cause of death for Mexican men between the ages of 15 and 29.
Mental health conditions are often stigmatized in Mexico, which can prevent individuals from seeking treatment. According to the 2016 World Health Organization Mental Health Atlas, mental health is still not considered an integral part of primary care, leaving most Mexicans without access to treatment that could improve their quality of life. This lack of accessible mental healthcare is often due to a lack of funding or available resources, especially in more rural areas with fewer people. Although it is increasingly recognized that mental illness has biological causes like genetics and brain chemistry exactly how these factors interact with each person’s lifestyle remains unknown.
The WHO Mental Health Atlas reports that 50% of those living with depression do not have access to treatment. The Atlas also states that depression is the leading cause of disability in Mexico City, affecting 1 in every 5 adults between the ages of 18 and 65. Depression can be treated with psychotherapy or medication, but according to the 2016 World Health Organization Mental Health Atlas, only 28% of Mexicans living with depression are receiving treatment for their condition.
