by According to the Vigitel Survey 2021, Brazil has shown an increase in cases of depression. About 11.8% of Brazilians reported a medical diagnosis of the disease. Research by the World Health Organization (WHO) also points out that almost 10% of the population lives with anxiety, making Brazil the most anxious country in the world.
In addition to these disorders, there are still some situations in which psychological counseling can be beneficial, such as patients with terminal illnesses, victims of abuse, and others.
However, according to data from the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE), the national average family income in Brazil was R$1,625 in 2022. In this scenario, psychological therapy tends to be considered a luxury that does not fit into the Brazilian budget.
However, in Goiania and Annapolis, there are places that offer free shelter for those seeking psychological care.
