Excellent, thoughtful paper #COVID & mentalhealth
"Low-quality mental health care based on affordability without assessment of quality or monitoring of needs and efficiency will only contribute to increasing inequalities and worsening mental health globally" @TheLancetPsych
"The interconnectedness of the world made society vulnerable to this infection, but it also provides the infrastructure to address previous system failings"
NEW Position Paper: How #mentalhealth
care should change as a consequence of the #COVID19 pandemic

There is no mental health epidemic. There IS a change in language use - worry about losing job or home MAKES SENSE, worry about schooling or NHS use is JUSTIFIED. These are NOT mental health problems. By naming them thus you have created this epidemic, + increases worry, is cruel

We in Africa are not concerned by this paper. Why are there not any African institutions involved in this paper? Why are some academicians from high-income countries so short-sighted when it comes to key global health questions?
