Something that people can easily forget when dealing with Mental Health is that it's a problem in every country around the world. No matter the stigma or cultural issues for a particular country, there are people struggling everywhere with Anxiety and OCD. What's amazing is how many people there are out there, and these are only for the ones who have been reported. Here are some interesting stats: http://www.rightdiagnosis.com/o/obsessi ... ountry.htm
Also in regards to some other stats: https://blog.treatmyocd.com/ocd-around- ... df17d579af
I think the main question though, is how many people in these countries aren't reporting that they have OCD/Anxiety? Also, how many of these people have OCD and probably don't even realize it? Thankfully with the internet, awareness can only get better.
How do people in other countries get help/spread awareness
