In January 2017, UK Prime Minister Theresa May made a speech highlighting the importance of acknowledging mental health as equal to physical health. This sentiment is something that the majority of Brits agree with, reflecting the changing attitudes towards mental illness.

The global cost of mental healthcare is set to exceed $6 trillion by 2030, and as dementia, depression and anxiety afflict a greater number of people, it’s unlikely that existing treatment options will be able to meet demand. Can tech, drugs or video games provide a viable alternative?
