If you look at disability, as measured by the World Health Organization with something they call the Disability Adjusted Life Years, it's kind of a metric that nobody would think of except an economist, except it's one way of trying to capture what is lost in terms of disability from medical causes, and as you can see, virtually 30 percent of all disability from all medical causes can be attributed to mental disorders, neuropsychiatric syndromes.
Razmotrimo invalidnost koju Svjetska zdravstvena organizacija mjeri nečime što oni nazivaju "Stopom izgubljenih godina zdravoga života". To je vrsta mjerenja kakvog se nitko ne bi dosjetio osim ekonomista, samo što je ovo jedan od načina da se otkrije što je izgubljeno u smislu medicinski uzrokovane invalidnosti. Kao što vidite, gotovo 30% svih invalidnosti uzrokovanih svim medicinskim uzrocima može se pripisati psihičkim bolestima, neuropsihijatrijskim sindromima.
