Neurological diseases make up 11 percent of the world’s disease burden, according to the Society for Neuroscience, and that doesn’t even include mental health and addiction disorders.
Depression affects about 121 million people worldwide[1].
In the U.S., more than 1,000 neurological and neurodegenerative diseases affect the lives of nearly 100 million Americans[2].

These diseases and disorders have a direct and obvious effect on the people suffering from them but they also have a tremendous impact on our economy from missed work or reduced productivity
