Last year at Davos, I helped launch a new&nbsp;Global Agenda Council on Mental Health, after a study by the World Economic Forum and Harvard School of Public Health projected that the global economic costs of mental illness over the next two decades would exceed the costs of cancer, diabetes, and respiratory ailments combined. With the stakes so high, the human and economic case for leaders to take mental health seriously is clearly compelling.
一个令人鼓舞的新现象是人们正在给予这个问题以高度的重视。去年的达沃斯会议上，我本人参与推出了一项新全球议程理事会心理健康计划，因为世界经济论坛和哈佛大学公共卫生学院预测精神疾病未来二十年耗费的全球经济成本将超过癌症、糖尿病和呼吸系统疾病的总和。因为事关重大，领导人显然有充分的人文和经济理由重视心理健康问题。
