🌐Diversity in Clinical Practice
Week 7 - Lecture Content: Global Mental Hea
Slide Notes
Global Mental Health
→The ‘global’ in GMH refers to the scope of problems, NOT their location.
970 million ppl live with mental disorders globally
that is 13% of the population
Mental Disorders Across the Globe
WHO world mental health (WMH) Surveys
face to face administration of survey including Composite Diagnostic Interview (CIDI) in
17 countries - 85 thousand respondents
Life-time prevalence of any MD varies between 12% (Nigeria) to 47.4% (United states).
More than 80% of individuals with MD’s are in LMICs (Low and Middle Income
Countries)
Diversity in Clinical Practice 1
, MD account for 8.8% and 16.6% of the total burden of disease in LMICs
Meta-Analysis on Prevalence of serious MD in refugees - Patane et al 2022
Refugees + Migrants General Population
Major Depression 27% 4.4%
Bipolar Disorder 6% 0.6%
Psychosis 1% 0.28%
PTSD 24% 1.1%
Emic vs Etic Approaches
→Emic approach - social anthropologists + cultural psychiatrics
Human experience is shaped by culture and there is no such thing as universal psychiatric
symptoms.
→Etic Approach - Clinicians + epidemiologists
Core symptoms of psychopathology are product of universal biological or psychological
process.
Emergence of GMH
Shift 1: How should we approach MH?
-Biomedical approach → Social determinants of MD
Shift 2: Where should MH care be delivered?
-Deinstitutionalization : institutional care → community care
Community Providers within the Health Sector : community health workers, school nurses or
counsellors, workplace health providers.
Community Providers Outside The Health Sectors:
Formal: teachers, police, social workers, youth workers
Informal: Village elders, traditional healers, faith group members, other community leaders
including peers, family, and friends with mental health conditions.
Shift 3: Who should deliver MH care?
Diversity in Clinical Practice 2
, Professional VS non-professionals
Traditional Healing
- 50% of ppl seeking formal HC for MD choose traditional or religious healers as first
providers.
→ Delays in accessing formal MHC
-Some evidence that psychosocial interventions delivered by traditional healers can be effective
in addressing mild symptoms but poor quality of research
Little evidence for severe mental illnesses.
Shift 4: “Nothing about us, without us”
Lived with experiences, ‘experts by experience’
A fundamental, right-based component of the ethos of MH care provision and research.
Historical Context
→ Institutionalized psychiatric care developed in Islamic world - 8th century
Included both physical and psychosocial treatments
→ Psychiatric Institutions established in Europe approx. 12th-15th century
during colonialism, spread of mental asylums across Africa and Asia
Across many LMIC, metal asylums still dominant form of MHC
Historical Context Continued
1950s-1960s: Shifts from Institutional Care to Community-Based MHC:
increased belief in efficacy of CBMH
Disadvantages of institutionalisation - abusive conditions, negative effects.
Cost of institutionalisation
Discovery of antipsychotics - chlorpromazine 1954
Appreciation of human rights of individuals with MD
Global MH Research
Diversity in Clinical Practice 3
, →From 1970s: integration of emic + etic approaches to interdisciplinary cross-cultural
psychiatry approach.
→From 2000s: Epidemiological studies across diverse populations and in LMICs
→After 2005: Large Randomized Controlled Trials - RCTs appeared
MH Treatment Gap
→Discrepancy between people in need of MHC, and people receiving MHC.
Range: 1.6% in Nigeria to 17.9% in USA
Reasons for this: Stigma + poor access + limited financial resources MHC
→Discrepancy between people in need VS receiving MHC
MH Treatment gap Syrian Refugees:
Turkey: 88-90%
The NLs: 42-60%
mhGAP Action Programme - WHO 2008
→The mhGAP package consists of interventions for prevention and management for priority
conditions.
Aim to scale up care for mental, neurobiological, and SUD.
Focused on LMICs
