become a global public health issue since it contributed to the global burden of disease. In most
LMICs and low-resource surroundings within high-income countries (HICs), mental disorders
have typically been diagnosed. A decrease of state interventions but a modification in the nature
and character of those interventions give rise to the major gap in a race that further impact
mental issue (McNamara 2015). In terms of political prioritization, the government is dedicated
to support the mental health issues through published plan “ensure healthy lives and promote
well-being for all at all ages”

organization influenced the global mental health disorders. The prime reason behind it that
human being is materialistic and depart times in wealth influence wellbeing. Global fund crisis

and more than 300 million are suffering from mental health issues.

Considering the political factors, the trade market and globalization come into play. Lack of
accurate social policies to protect the human rights, negligence of policymakers for addressing
issues of the health care sectors, stringent tax legislation, lack of insurance mandate, high
