Abstract
Mental health disorders are not uncommon, and the global burden of mental health disorders is projected to reach 15% by the year 2020. By this time, it is estimated that common mental disorders such as depression, anxiety, and substance abuse‐related disorders, will disable more people than complications arising from AIDS, heart disease, accidents, and wars combined![1] This is an astonishing statistic and poses serious questions as to why mental health disorders are not given much more attention that it currently receives.
