The February issue of the journal World Psychiatry includes a variety of commentaries about strategizing to improve “public mental health.”
“What contributes to poor mental health is well known,” writes Stefan Priebe. “Adverse childhood conditions; experience of war, persecution and torture; social isolation; unemployment and social exclusion; poverty, poor education and low socio-economic status; and social inequality… What should be done?”
Articles include “The Political Mission of Psychiatry,” “Public mental health: science or politics?” and “Addressing social injustice: a key public mental health strategy.” All are open access.
