With more than 600 neurological related disorders today, including, among others, depression, Alzheimer’s disease and schizophrenia, CNS treatment represents one of the major public health priorities today.

Apart from the health challenges, mental illnesses create social and economic side-effects affecting the daily lives of millions of people, while they can have a devastating impact on how a patient feels and understands the world. Established as the primary cause of disability worldwide, mental illnesses can make routine tasks seem from difficult to unbearable.

According to recent studies, close to 10% of the global population is suffering from depression or is experiencing anxiety disorders. In Greece, almost 200.000 people suffer from dementia, with another 100.000 epilepsy patients.

Respiratory illnesses are by now considered a common health problem worldwide. Although some people are genetically more likely to get respiratory conditions, the workplace and the environmental exposures  play a significant role in accelerating the pace of respiratory cases and challenges.

More than 330 million people worldwide and approximately 9% of the population in Greece suffer from asthma. Other common respiratory diseases are chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), cystic fibrosis, pneumonia, pleural effusion, while corona viruses are now known to have a wide population effect.

Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the number one cause of death globally. More people die annually from CVDs than from any other cause with 85% of these deaths relating to heart attacks and strokes.

The most important behavioral risk factors of heart diseases and strokes are unhealthy diet, physical inactivity, tobacco use and excessive use of alcohol. Even though the Mediterranean diet contributes to decreasing the associated risk, Greece follows the worldwide patient number patterns.
