Examining the impact of and approaches to addressing the needs of people living with mental health issues

ABSTRACT

Mental health presents one of the highest disability burdens on the planet, but it has not historically received a corresponding amount of attention in research and policy arenas. Developing mental health strategies and other policies with an understanding of what the research evidence on the issue says will help strengthen the policy actions being taken in the area, and could lead to improved population mental health and better outcomes for people living with mental health issues
