Spotlight on Mental Health: context and culture in mental health

As we continue to mark The Lancet's 200th anniversary this year, we want to draw your attention to the most critical issues impacting health globally, the extraordinary people involved in tackling them, and the voices of those most impacted. As part of our Spotlight on Mental Health, we highlight the ways in which The Lancet Group has advocated to improve the mental health of whole populations and reduce the global burden of mental disorders. Special Spotlight activities, led by our expert editors, help us continue this advocacy work. You are invited to join our upcoming Spotlight webinar on context and culture in mental health, Oct 10, 2023, 12:00 pm BST / 7:00 am EDT. https://event.on24.com/wcc/r/4277581/70218534D05D81238D99FF20C84A876A?partnerref=hubspot_email_spotlight-update_lancet200_mh_webinar2&utm_campaign=lancet200&utm_medium=email&_hsenc=p2ANqtz-8I92gmg57xOXTBPkmkSIvzFbvZCqnFv0xV-RP61PAv8yLHAOhbh0CSHGfN6-t8rfByMua-dQG8woM3gwFvigwnMTAisg&_hsmi=273101636&utm_content=272616622&utm_source=hs_email&hsCtaTracking=047abe31-8b72-49b9-99a3-09a4c664cfcb%7Cf1f489e3-c553-4d0c-ab39-264a14dc446d Psychiatry has been dominated by Western concepts throughout its modern history, and those concepts are integral to psychiatry training, research, and practice, as well as global mental health agendas in much of the world. In this Spotlight webinar, we will hear different perspectives from around the world on mental health, mental distress, and mental illness from outside of the dominant North American and European frameworks.
