Assessing, Detecting and Managing Mental Disorders
Assessing, Detecting and Managing Mental Disorders
November 20-22, 2024
Dr. Nutan Prabha Jain
Background
Mental health and well-being are important aspects of public health, but very little attention has been given to them till now, especially in low and middle-income countries. South Asian region has a high disease burden of mental disorders. A systematic review conducted in 2020 showed a prevalence of 14.2 per cent for common mental disorders. Similar trends have also been seen in South America and Africa. According to the National Mental Health Survey, approximately 150 million people in India require care for their mental health problems, but a large majority of these (70 to 92 per cent) fail to receive treatment. The COVID-19 pandemic would further add to the unmet mental health needs of these populations. The personal, family and social impact of COVID-19 is likely to last for a very long time.
The world should be committed to improving access to mental healthcare and treatment in communities without discrimination. Sustainable Development Goal 3 (targets 3.4 and 3.5) is related to mental health and substance abuse. Premature mortality from noncommunicable diseases can also be reduced through promoting mental health and providing treatment and care for mental disorders. However, early detection of mental illnesses and their timely management remains an important public health challenge due to the lack of trained mental health care professionals at the periphery.
SD Gupta School of Public Health (SDG SPH) at IIHMR University, Jaipur, India, is collaborating with the Rural Mental Health section of the World Psychiatry Association (WPA), Centre for Autism, Neurodevelopmental Disorders and Intellectual Disabilities (CANDDID, Cheshire and Wirral Partnership (CWP), NHS Foundation Trust; and University of Manchester, UK, to work on building and strengthening capacities of healthcare functionaries including counsellors as well as caregivers towards improving community’s mental health and wellbeing through this structured skill-oriented training program.
Objectives
The programme aims to strengthen and promote mental health care and services. The specific objectives of the programme are:
- Developing effective leadership skills for timely screening and management of mental health issues.
- Improving skills to assess, detect and deal with mental disorders using GMHAT/PC.
- Strengthening information systems to provide evidence for mental health.
