A passage is given below followed by several conclusions which can be drawn from the facts stated in the passages. You have to examine each inference separately in the context of the passage, decide upon its truth or falsity, and choose the conclusion that best supports the passage.

In recent years, there has been increasing acknowledgement of the important role mental health plays in achieving global development goals, as illustrated by the inclusion of mental health in the Sustainable Development Goals. Depression is one of the leading causes of disability. Suicide is the second leading cause of death among 15-29-year-olds. People with severe mental health conditions die prematurely – as much as two decades early – due to preventable physical conditions. Despite progress in some countries, people with mental health conditions often experience severe human rights violations, discrimination, and stigma. Many mental health conditions can be effectively treated at relatively low cost, yet the gap between people needing care and those with access to care remains substantial. Effective treatment coverage remains extremely low. Increased investment is required on all fronts: for mental health awareness to increase understanding and reduce stigma; for efforts to increase access to quality mental health care and effective treatments; and for research to identify new treatments and improve existing treatments for all mental disorders.

The passage, if true, is best supported by which of the following conclusions?

1
Depression is one of the leading causes of death while suicide is the fourth leading cause of disability among 15-29-year-olds hence, increased investment is required to increase understanding and reduce stigma.
2
Mental health plays an important role in achieving global development goals. Despite progress in some countries, people with mental health conditions often experience severe human rights violations and stigma.
3
People who have good health can still have underlying emotional problems and mental problems and this can be caused by a physical imbalance in the brain, family problems and stressful work/education can make it worse.
4
Mental health is important and can be effectively treated at relatively high cost.
5
None of the above.
