With the ever-growing population, the need of medical personnel has never been so high. One major issue is the long waiting time for therapy appointments. This delay can worsen conditions and is mainly caused by a shortage of qualified professionals. The shortage is partly due to low wages and unattractive working conditions in the public sector. In a lot of countries, medical personnel are often overworked and underpaid, leading to high burnout and staff shortages.
Another problem is the lack of free therapy options. In many European countries affordable mental health services are mostly urban, leaving many without access. Some offer free therapy sessions, but availability is limited. Additionally, public attitudes toward therapy remain a barrier. While some countries are improving, others still see mental health as a taboo.
Despite these issues, mental health is slowly being normalised through education and awareness campaigns. However, without fair wages for staff and broader access to free health care, progress will remain slow. Structural reforms are essential to ensure that mental health care becomes a basic right rather than a luxury.
