cost of brain diseases
Although DALYs arenât directly translatable into monetary cost, other methods can give us insight into the cost of these disorders. The global cost of mental health conditions alone was estimated at US$ 2.5 trillion in 2010, with a projected increase to over US$6 trillion in 2030. In Europe, the cost of all brain disorders was estimated at â¬798 billion in 2010. In America, neurological illnesses and mental disorders cost the US more than $760 billion a year. All in all, these numbers make clear the great burden of brain-based diseases and disorders, and the potentially widespread impact of neuroscience research.
