Abstract

Mental health problems are a global issue and solutions need to fit a wide range of cultures and economic situations. This is challenging for the Western-oriented model of medical diagnosis and expensive, hospital-based treatment. In Western countries, the model is moving towards community-oriented support, based on a recovery and wellness model, with more emphasis on prevention and mental health promotion work, provided by multidisciplinary teams.
