Towards a more nuanced global mental health

Br J Psychiatry. 2014 Jun;204(6):415-7. doi: 10.1192/bjp.bp.113.139204.

Abstract

The World Health Organization has made concerted efforts to scale up mental health services in low- and middle-income countries through the Mental Health Gap Action Programme (mhGAP) initiative. However, an overreliance on scaling up services based on those used in high-income countries may risk causing more harm than good.
