Overview

We will evaluate the importance of mental health from the perspective of human capital and how it can be addressed effectively in order to enhance the quality of human capital. We will also examine the possibility that mental states such as depression and anxiety may negatively influence economic growth from the demand side through a lack of consumer confidence and "animal spirits."
