According to a research paper published in Elsevier in April 2024, under comprehensive psychiatry, the prevalence of mental health disorders in South Africa is the highest in the world with a variety of elements playing a role in this extensive mental health burden in the country.

Factors such as early life trauma and poverty, along with the lack of job opportunities, the impact of HIV/AIDS, and a backdrop of historical political and social turmoil are significant contributors to these mental disorders.
