According to the World Health Organization, Global Burden of Disease report:

• Mental and neurological disorders are responsible for only 1% of deaths, but account for almost 11% of disease burden the world over.
  
  
• The extension of life expectancy and the ageing of the general populations in both developed and developing countries are likely to increase the prevalence of many chronic and progressive physical and mental conditions including neurological disorders.
  
  
• The proportionate share of the total global burden of disease due to neuropsychiatric disorders is projected to rise to 14.7% by 2020.
