Under the Gaze of Global Mental Health
Nurturing transformative participation
The importance of involving people with lived experiences of mental health difficulties and the communities they inhabit, in interventions for them is now widely recognised. However, there is a lack of scrutiny around the theory and practice of how - and to what extent - participation occurs in global mental health interventions. The aim of this review was to examine existing literature and consult with community groups in low and middle income s…
Under the Gaze of Global Mental Health
“We Need Other Human Beings in Order to be Human”
This paper examines how cultural, historical and contemporary perspectives of mental health continue to inform ways of understanding and responding to mental distress even under the biomedical gaze of the Movement for Global Mental Health (MGMH). Based on experiences in Malawi, the authors explore three prominent interventions (practical support, counselling and support groups) employed by village health workers within a mental health task-shifti…
Pluralism and practicality
The individual and social construction of psychological distress is fundamental to help-seeking and the extent to which interventions are seen as credible. Where pluralistic attributions for mental health problems predominate, the development of global mental health (GMH) interventions in the form of task-shifting approaches create increased access to new ways of understanding and responding to distress. However, little is known about how partici…
A systematic review and meta-analysis of the prevalence of common mental disorders in people with non-communicable diseases in Bangladesh, India, and Pakistan
Building capacity for community mental health care in rural Malawi
BACKGROUND: The mental health 'treatment gap' is at its widest in low-resource countries where the vast majority of its people have no access to mental health services and where developing effective models of primary mental health care that can expand from research pilot sites to large-scale population-based services is a major research and practice imperative. AIM: The Mental Health in Zomba initiative builds upon an earlier pilot project to est…
Integrating community mental health within primary care in southern Malawi
BACKGROUND: In response to the significant contribution of mental health problems to the global burden of disease, the World Health Organization (WHO, 2008) renewed its call for the integration of mental health services within primary care. The operationalization of this within resource-constrained settings such as rural Malawi, however, presents a challenge, not least the cultural acceptance of approaches to responding to psychological distress.…
Young Malawians on the interaction between mental health and HIV/Aids
Previous research has identified high levels of mental health problems among people affected by HIV. This study surveys specifically adolescents in southern Malawi on their experience of the impacts of living with HIV or AIDS on one's mental health. At the same time, the study explores the link between mental health problems and subsequent HIV-risk behaviour. Short texts relating everyday scenarios that depicted symptoms of three mental health pr…
The relevance of drug injectors' social and risk networks for understanding and preventing HIV infection
African-American Male Sexual Behavior and the Risk for HIV Infection
Social researchers and epidemiologists have been slow to address racial aspects of the AIDS epidemic. This lag has occurred in spite of the fact that African-Americans have been disproportionately affected by HIV. Few community-based interventions have been designed specifically for minority males. Those health educators who have attempted to respond to the growing public health problem of sexually transmitted AIDS among African-American males ha…
