Mental health problems are the major cause of disability in the world and some 450 million people worldwide currently suffer from some form of mental disease or brain condition.

There is also a severe lack of mental health personnel and facilities throughout the developing world. This book is a compilation of six articles and one report on mental health interventions in six developing countries on four different continents.
