Description
By: Dinesh Bhugra | Series: Culture and Psychiatry
Basic principles for setting up mental health services in the context of mutual learning from across the globe.
As people globally are living longer, complex co-morbidities between physical and mental disorders are coming to the fore. Mental health, says Dinesh Bhugra, must therefore be the top priority for the citizens of all countries in policy, funding for research and service development including prevention of mental illnesses and mental health promotion. These must be integrated with primary and secondary healthcare delivery. The book presents the basic components of a good mental healthcare system, while stressing the need for international mutual learning.
Cultural perceptions and explanations of mental disorders differ around the world, and the concept of a single global mental health campaign makes no sense. The author examines policies and models for meeting mental health needs in all contexts across the world and illustrates examples of good practice. Care providers, he writes, also need to form partnerships and links with nongovernmental agencies, communities, faith leaders, folk healers, informal carers, and families, as such links can be used to develop mutual learning, which will improve acceptance of mental healthcare.
