Abstract

We know that one in five people will experience a problem with living (Buchanan-Barker & Baker, 2006), mental disorder or condition in any year, and about one in two people will experience such a problem in their lifetime (Mental Health Commission of NSW, 2014a, p 12). Given this high prevalence we could suggest that problems with living fall within the range of lived experience of human beings. Of people with these experiences, the majority will experience a high prevalence disorder such as anxiety or depression.
