WHO Releases 2011 Mental Health Atlas


The WHO Mental Health Atlas 2011 represents the latest estimate of global mental health resources available to prevent and http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.giftreat mental disorders and help protect the human rights of people living with these conditions.

It presents data from 184 WHO Member States, covering 98% of the world’s population. Facts and figures presented in Atlas indicate that resources for mental health remain inadequate.

The distribution of resources across regions and income groups is substantially uneven and in many countries resources are extremely scarce. Results from Atlas reinforce the urgent need to scale up resources and care for mental health within countries.

Please visit www.who.int/mental_health/publications/mental_health_atlas_2011/en/index.html to access the 2011 Mental Health Atlas.
