Asperger’s Syndrome, also known as high-functioning autism, is a developmental disorder that is part of the broader autism spectrum disorder (ASD) category. Adults with Asperger’s syndrome often have strong intellectual abilities and vocabulary skills. On average, one in 8 men will have depression and one in 5 men will experience anxiety at some stage of their lives. Men are less likely to identify that they are experiencing a problem with anxiety and/or connect with their emotional experience of anxiety. Mental ill health among women is on the rise. One in five women (19%) experience a Common Mental Disorder (such as anxiety or depression), compared with one in eight (12%) men. Over a third (36%) of women who have faced extensive physical and sexual violence in both childhood and adulthood have attempted suicide, and a fifth (22%) have self-harmed. In Europe, about 3% of the population has a panic attack in a given year. Panic attacks are more common in females than in males. They can either be triggered or occur unexpectedly. They are often experienced in conjunction with anxiety disorders and other psychological conditions, although panic attacks are not generally indicative of a mental disorder. Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a prevalent psychiatric disorder affecting 1% to 3% of the global population, characterized by intrusive thoughts, known as obsessions, and repetitive actions, or compulsions. These symptoms affect patients not only by consuming a significant portion of their time but also by causing marked distress and functional impairment. Bipolar disorder is a mental health condition that affects a person’s mood, energy, activity and thought and is characterized by manic (or hypomanic) and depressive episodes. An estimated 40 million people live with bipolar disorder worldwide. Bipolar disorder is a treatable condition.
