Mental health:

Not only security and medical categories were taken into consideration for the risk factors in countries to visit but also taken into account of mental health. According to mental health, the index counts anxiety, depression, eating disorders, and schizophrenia as mental health disorders.
Western European countries and most Scandinavia countries have mental issues between 15% to 17.5%, whereas in countries like Greenland, Spain, Australia, and New Zealand, the percentage is as high as 17.5% to 20%
According to the World Health Organization, 11% to 18% of the population suffers from one or more mental or drug use disorders, and mental health problems have been on the rise.

COVID-19 the culprit:

Though no particular causes are mentioned, COVID-19 may be somewhat to blame as the WHO reports that anxiety and depression increased by 25% globally in the first year of the pandemic.
According to a statement from Dr. Irene Lai, medical director of International SOS, organizations must concentrate on reducing the ongoing effects of mental health problems while travel and health risk are increasing in many areas.
He said, "Although other acute medical issues which may have a significant impact regularly arise, mental health problems remain in the background and cannot be overlooked."
