An International Comparison of Psychiatric Advance Directive Policy
The present work provides a comparative policy review of psychiatric advance directives, considering 1) variation across eleven international jurisdictions and 2) differentiation from other advance directive policy.

Intersectional discrimination, exclusion and the socio-political economy of global mental health
Social determinants literature has reinforced the importance of social landscapes to poor mental health. In this scoping review, we explore the extent to which the current mental health evidence base acknowledges the impact of intersectional structural determinants of mental health outcomes, via the mechanism of discrimination - linked to a range of commonly underexplored socio-political factors (Protocol registration DOI:10.17605/OSF.IO/CGJQH). …
Why young people attempt suicide in India
Suicidal behaviours among young people in India are a major public health problem. An understanding of the reasons for suicide attempts from survivor perspectives is essential to developing suicide prevention programs for this population, as these can provide valuable insights into concerns that are unique to young people, and direct the focus of such programs towards these specific concerns. Qualitative studies are best suited for eliciting such…

Covid-19 mental health impact and responses in low-income and middle-income countries
Application of a Scorecard Tool for Assessing and Engaging Media on Responsible Reporting of Suicide-Related News in India
The scorecard can be a useful tool to assess media reports on suicide and provide metrics for the same. It can facilitate improved monitoring and engagement with media organizations, who can quickly check their own reporting compliance to the WHO guidelines and compare how well they are performing compared to their peers over time
Covid-19 and forced alcohol abstinence in India
‘They love me, but they don’t understand me’
BACKGROUND: Family life is a near-universal condition and a fundamental human right. It can also have a significant impact on mental health, including recovery from mental health conditions. In India, families play a considerable role, representing a source of social, cultural, religious and, often, financial support. However, families can also play a stigmatising role. AIM: To examine the experiences of mental health service users (MHSUs) relati…
A review of mental health policies from Commonwealth countries
BACKGROUND: The burden of disease related to mental disorders across the world is substantial. However, there remains inequality between funding for clinical and research activities between physical illness and mental illness in almost all countries. AIMS: One way of reducing this inequality is to ensure that mental health policies reflect this. We were interested in looking at the policies of members of Commonwealth. METHOD: We decided to survey…
“I cry every day and night, I have my son tied in chains”
BACKGROUND: A primary rationale for scaling up mental health services in low and middle-income countries is to address human rights violations, including physical restraint in community settings. The voices of those with intimate experiences of restraint, in particular people with mental illness and their families, are rarely heard. The aim of this study was to understand the experiences of, and reasons for, restraint of people with schizophrenia…
Human rights violations of people with mental and psychosocial disabilities
The Explanatory Model Interview Catalogue (Emic)
The Explanatory Model Interview Catalogue (EMIC) has been developed to elicit illness-related perceptions, beliefs, and practices in a cultural study of leprosy and mental health in Bombay. Leprosy is an especially appropriate disorder for studying the inter-relationship of culture, mental health and medical illness because of deeply rooted cultural meanings, the emotional burden, and underuse of effective therapy. Fifty per cent of 56 recently d…
