2 Lancet Series on Global Mental Health 6 Papers 1. No health without mental health 2. Scarcity, inequity and insufficiency of resources: three major obstacles to better mental health 3. Treating mental disorders in low- and middleincome countries: Do we have the evidence to scale up? 4. Mental health systems in countries: where are we now? 5. Barriers to improving mental health services in low and middle income countries 6. A call for action for global mental health 8 Commentaries Australian launch of the series hosted by the CIMH and NIGH 4 October 2007 Yasuko Hiraoko Room, Myer Asia Centre Key Messages from the Lancet Series Mental health is a neglected aspect of human wellbeing, which is intimately connected with many other conditions of global health importance. Resources for mental health are inadequate and inequitably distributed. There is already a strong evidence base on which to scale up mental health services. Most low-income and middle-income countries currently devote far too few resources to mental health. There are critical lessons to learn from past successes and failures, for: political leadership and priority setting increasing financial support decentralising mental health services integrating mental health into primary care increasing health workers trained in mental health, and strengthening public health perspectives in mental health. Any call to action demands a clear set of indicators to measure progress at country level. During the next 2 years, The Lancet will make mental health one of its campaign focal points. We urge partners to join the broad new social movement we are launching to strengthen mental health. Richard Horton, Editor, The Lancet 2
