Five Boro Bike Tour

The Columbia – WHO Center for Global Mental Health is honored to be a partner of the 2020 Five Boro Bike Tour.

In any given year, about 1 in 5 adults in the U.S. — that’s 43.8 million, or 18.5% — experiences a mental disorder. Worldwide, mental and behavioral disorders account for approximately 7.4 percent of the global burden of disease, and represent the leading cause of disability—accounting for 22.2% of years lived with disability globally. It’s estimated that more than 75% of people with severe mental disorders in low- and middle-income countries receive no treatment for their disorders, and even in high-income countries, 35-50% of such individuals never receive care.

Through cutting edge research, training, and advocacy, Columbia – WHO Center for Global Mental Health works to address the profound gaps that exist in mental health understanding and services around the globe. Their singular aim: to alleviate the global burden of disease inflicted by mental illness.
