Description
Thanh Hoa Tran and Ngoc Thi Nhu Hoang chart the burden of mental disorders in Vietnam across three decades in a 2026 study. They drew on Global Burden of Disease 2023 data. With it, they tracked how common these conditions are, how often new cases arise, and how much healthy life they cost, broken down by age, sex, and diagnosis.
About 9.1 million people in Vietnam lived with a mental disorder in 2023, with depressive disorders ranking highest on every measure. Rates ran higher in women than men throughout. Age-standardised rates rose steadily from 1990 to 2023, and burden tracked closely with the country's development index. Forecasts point to further growth through 2040. The authors call for community-based care, more trained staff, and mental health built into primary care.
