The forecasted data indicates a gradual increase in the standardised mortality rate for mental and behavioural disorders among women in Canada from 72.6 deaths per hundred thousand in 2024 to 78.9 deaths in 2028. The year-on-year increase is consistent at approximately 2.3%, showcasing a noticeable upward trend in mortality rates for this group over the forecast period. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over these five years is reflective of a steady rise, suggesting persistent underlying factors contributing to this trend.
As we look to the future, it will be critical to observe government policies on mental health funding, public awareness campaigns, and potential changes in healthcare delivery that could impact these rates. Technological advancements in diagnosing and treating mental health conditions and shifts in societal attitudes towards mental health could also influence future trends significantly.
