Mental illness can affect anyone. It is an important cause of disability worldwide. However the pathways to receiving adequate and humane mental health care vary within countries and between countries. This mental health inequity is a challenge to be explored and overcome in order to attain better health for all nations. Participating in this course is a step towards overcoming this global challenge.

The podcasts in this playlist introduce fundamental concepts related to mental health and illness and presents evidence for global mental health inequity, and considers how factors such as stigma, violations of human rights, culture, spirituality, partnerships and technology may affect the pathways to mental health care.
