Mental health is deteriorating quickly and significantly globally post-COVID. Though there
were already over 1 billion people living with mental disorders pre-pandemic, in the first year of
COVID-19 alone, the prevalence of anxiety and depression soared by 25% worldwide. In light of
the chronic shortages of mental health provider and resources, along with disruptions of
available health services caused by the pandemic and COVID-related restrictions, technology
is widely believed to hold the key to addressing rising mental health crises. However, hurdles
such as fragmented and often suboptimal patient protection measures substantially undermine
technology’s potential to address the global mental health crises effectively, reliably, and at scale.
To shed light on these issues, this paper aims to discuss the post-pandemic challenges and
opportunities the global community could leverage to improve society’s mental health en masse.
