According to the <\/span>2023 Annual Report for the National System of Health<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>34% of the Spanish population suffers from some mental health condition, including anxiety and depression.<\/span><\/b> If we consider the <\/span>population older than 50<\/span><\/b>, the <\/span>prevalence rises to 40%<\/span><\/b>, and in <\/span>adults older than 85<\/span><\/b>,<\/span> half of the people show one of these conditions.<\/span><\/b> In <\/span>adolescents<\/span><\/b>, according to the <\/span>2023 Youth Barometer of Health and Wellness<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>15.6% of those between 15 and 19<\/span><\/b> state that <\/span>they often experience some condition with these characteristics.<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In addition to these numbers, we note that these patients typically have<\/span> difficulty accessing professional care, whether because of high cost and\/or lack of resources compared to the demand<\/span><\/b>, and also experience social isolation, along with impacts on thought, feelings, mood, and behavior.\u00a0Because of this, <\/span>Digital Health and Digital Therapeutics (DTx)<\/span><\/b> offer significant potential in the treatment of these conditions, providing multiple benefits to patients as well as healthcare professionals:<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
