Chapter 2: What is Neurodiversity? | Section 2: Why do we Design for Inclusion
There is growing research to suggest that some neurological conditions such as ASD will cause the individual to have a stronger predisposition, when compared to neurotypicals, to suffer from anxiety and depression. It is for this reason that whilst neurodiversity and mental health are different things they should be thought about together on a contextual basis.
Despite the impact it has, the global spend on mental health is less than $2 USD per person.
Treatments for depression and anxiety is vastly underutilized. In high-income countries with well-established healthcare systems, 35–50 percent of people living with mental illness receive no treatment. In low to middle-income countries, upwards of 76–85 percent of people living with mental illness do not receive treatment.
