Naturopath and wellness expert Erin O'Hara observed that the state of mental health in New Zealand is in decline, and has been for quite a while.

New Zealand has a reputation for notoriously low mental health statistics, and a new study confirms that one in two Kiwis have been severely impacted by stress or depression in the past year.
