Even within countries, there can be considerable variations in access to mental health. For instance, in the United States, there are many counties in rural areas with no mental health professionals at all. Yet in metropolitan areas, like New England, there are 55.6 psychologists alone per 100,000 residents. By contrast, in El Salvador, where gang violence and the aftermath of a civil war present major social issues and threats to physical and mental wellbeing, there were only two psychologists per 100,000 inhabitants in 2017, the latest year for which data was available.
