Commercialized psychiatric and psychological knowledge encourages us to think of ourselves primarily as consumers and promotes a set of values that suggest some of us have minds or brains that should be ‘fixed' with particular products or services. These neoliberal values have led to a great deal of institutional corruption and also has been exported beyond the western world across the globe. Many researchers, clinicians and activists have rallied together to fight against medicalized global mental health initiatives which promote a narrow westernized notion of wellness and defined how treatment should look, often at the expense of local healing practices and without the participation of people with lived experience. Justin Karter, couseling psychologist, and research news editor at Mad In America, has spent a long time advocating for epistemic justice in the psy disciplines and helping to expose practices and policies that undermine people's human rights and agency. In this episode we discuss: how the political and psychological meet within and outside of therapy commercialization of psychopharmaceuticals and institutional corruption how neoliberalism and capitalist values are embedded in psychiatry the global mental health movement and psychiatric export as a neocolonial practice the ways in which global advocates with lived experience uniting and fighting back the need for epistemic justice, humility, and polyphony legal updates from the UN Committee for the Rights of Persons with Disabilities psychological humanities, mad studies, and other exciting emerging disciples of study Bio: Justin M.

When it comes to treating depression, it's the rest of the world that is delivering health care innovations to the United States. The global burden of unrecognized and untreated depression in terms of suffering and lost productivity is staggering. This is not just true in economically developing countries, but in the United States as well. A lack of broad access to affordable, effective, quality-based mental health care is a universal problem. In recent years, innovative research has driven the development of treatment strategies for depression, with the bulk of this work occurring in under-resourced areas of the world such as India and Africa. Much of this research, and its application has come from the scholarly work of Dr. Vikram Patel, a UK-trained Psychiatrist and Endowed Professor of Global Health at Harvard Medical School. Dr. Patel's work has focused on the burden of mental health problems across the life course, their association with social disadvantage, and the use of community resources for their prevention and treatment. Dr. Patel speaks with Paul about these challenges and possible solutions provided by the Harvard-sponsored ‘Empower Initiative' program, which is a model for improving depression care at the community level. This multi-dimensional, holistic, and humanistic approach is now being brought to Texas in the form of the "Lone Star Depression Challenge". Using strategies honed in rural communities worldwide, the project seeks to make depression care more widely available via the use of front-line health workers using evidence-based digital treatment tools. In our third episode of Season 2, focusing on health equity, Paul and Vikram delve into these topics, describing a potential roadmap to reducing the global burden of depression into the 21st Century.
According to the World Health Organization, nearly a billion people worldwide have experienced some form of mental illness. This includes an estimated 5% of adults who experience depression, one in seven 10-19-year-olds who have experienced a mental health condition, and suicide being the fourth leading cause of death for young people aged 15-29 years. And people with severe mental disorders such as schizophrenia tend to die 10-20 years earlier than the general population. And that's without mentioning the COVID-19 pandemic. For this episode, we talk to two experts who have devoted their lives to global mental health. Vikram Patel, MD, is a professor of global health at the Harvard University Chan School of Public Health. In April 2015, he was listed as one of the world's 100 most influential people by TIME magazine. Fran Silvestri is director of the International Institute of Mental Health Leadership.

Today's episode is presented by the American Case Management Association. Join our host, Deb McElroy, along with featured guest, Dr. Vikram Patel. Dr. Patel is the Pershing Square Professor of Global Health and Wellcome Trust Principal Research Fellow at the Harvard Medical School. He is a psychiatrist whose work over the past two decades has focused on addressing the vast unmet needs for mental health care, especially in low resourced settings. He holds honorary professorships at the Harvard TH Chan School of Public Health, the Public Health Foundation of India, and the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine. The pandemic has led to an economic downturn and associated increase in the prevalence of mental health problems globally and considerably worsened the pre-existing crisis of unmet need for care. Dr. Patel argues this presents a historic opportunity to reimagine mental health care, by scaling interventions designed to improve the access, quality, and person-centered features of care. Several programs are discussed throughout this discussion, including the Mental Health for All Lab, the Global Mental Health Initiative at Harvard and Sangath.

Whether or not you've been exposed to the virus, the COVID-19 pandemic impacts everyone's sense of well-being. Three scholars in the field of global mental health look at the various ways loss, fear, anxiety—and on top of it, a massive global recession—weigh on the mental well-being of different groups. And they anticipate a surge in demand for mental health services as a result of the pandemic.Although the contemporary world has never seen the likes of such economic contraction as we have now, the recession of 2008 might be an instructive case. Vikram Patel, professor of global health and population, explains what is known about the mental health impacts stemming from that recent recession. Mary-Jo DelVecchio Good, a sociologist and medical anthropologist, gets inside the mind and experiences of the doctors and healthcare workers who are taking care of us (and it's not necessarily what you would expect). And psychiatrist Dr. Giuseppe Raviola gives an unflinching look at what American families and kids are struggling with during lockdown.The scholars also discuss the fraught state of mental health service delivery in the US, and advocate for adopting an approach to mental health services very different from the US's hierarchical system of licensed specialists.Finally, our guests confront the great disparities in the hardships this pandemic creates: in short, wealthy people are doing just fine and have all the advantages, while for others, the pandemic has taken away so many of the resources they once had, causing enduring stress.Disclaimer: This podcast was recorded on May 22, 2020 when the US had approximately 1.5 million positive COVID-19 cases.Host:Kathleen Molony, Director, Weatherhead Scholars Program.Guests:Vikram Patel, Faculty Associate.

In 2015, a never-before-seen coronavirus called Middle East Respiratory Syndrome, or MERS, made its way to South Korea. The outbreak ultimately infected nearly 200 people in the country, most of whom worked in the health care sector. About three dozen died. “People were so shocked at the time,” recalled Dr. Sun Jae Jung, a preventive medicine specialist and psychiatric epidemiologist who was working at a hospital in Seoul during the outbreak. “It didn't have any vaccines. It didn’t have a treatment.”Fear of the virus ripped through Korean society, Jung recalled. The mental health repercussions of the contagious disease weren’t widely acknowledged. Health workers and people in quarantine lacked psychosocial support and suffered from conditions such as post-traumatic stress disorder, or PTSD.“People were so frustrated that I think they didn't even recognize it's a mental health issue. So they were mostly focused on the biology of the virus and your fatality and how to prevent [it], but not about the mental health issues or of the frustrations or anxiety. ... They did not talk about it at that time.”Dr. Sun Jae Jung, preventive medicine specialist and psychiatric epidemiologist, Seoul, South Korea“People were so frustrated that I think they didn't even recognize it's a mental health issue. So they were mostly focused on the biology of the virus and your fatality and how to prevent [it], but not about the mental health issues or of the frustrations or anxiety,” Jung said. “They did not talk about it at that time.” Five years later, it is clear the new coronavirus pandemic is causing a worldwide crisis in mental health as it makes its way around the globe, destroying lives and livelihoods. The United Nations has urged governments to take mental health consequences seriously. Previous infectious disease outbreaks, from Ebola to SARS, are now informing present-day virus responses. It helps that the global spotlight on mental health has grown in recent years. Related: COVID-19: The latest from The WorldIn South Korea, Jung said, she and others in the medical field wanted to prevent the mistakes made during the MERS outbreak. When COVID-19 emerged in the country in late January, they were keenly aware of the serious mental health challenges that could follow. Jung, who specializes in psychiatric epidemiology at Yonsei University College of Medicine in Seoul, began conducting surveys on the mental health of the general population. The results have yet to be published.“People were more anxious and [had] more acute stress symptoms,” Jung said. “A lot of people reported they have issues in sleep, and also they have issues in anxiety symptoms — like they have a palpitation — they have some kind of panic symptoms.” Lessons from MERSAfter the MERS outbreak, Jung and other health professionals came to realize that working on the medical front lines, or being infected and put in quarantine, could lead to acute stress, anxiety and PTSD. Those mental health issues were on top of broader anxiety people often felt about the possibility of getting sick and having their lives disrupted. Health professionals, who were likeliest to be infected, faced an additional layer of stress during the MERS outbreak: They went from being a highly regarded sector to being almost vilified, with the stigma of the disease casting blame on those who were infected or at risk of spreading it.Related: Inside the global network of scientists racing to curb the spread of COVID-19This time around, teams of psychologists in South Korea have been working with patients who are in quarantine for COVID-19, and more psychosocial support has been set up for hospital workers. But perhaps most notable, Jung said, is the shift she has observed in Korean society: People are talking about mental health. They even devised a term for pandemic-related emotional problems, especially after everyday life came to a halt. “We don't say corona depression, but we say ‘corona blue.’ I mean, like, everyone was depressed.”Dr. Sun Jae Jung, preventive medicine specialist and psychiatric epidemiologist, Seoul, South Korea“We don't say corona depression, but we say ‘corona blue’,” Jung said. “I mean, like, everyone was depressed.”South Korea has experienced less than 300 COVID-19 deaths and had some 11,500 reported cases. The growing acknowledgment of “corona blue” has spread to other countries, too. Singapore, for its part, elevated mental health awareness in the wake of coronavirus.Early on in the coronavirus pandemic, Silver Ribbon, a group mental health agency in Singapore, set up virtual counseling services and tried to raise awareness about the emotional impact of disruptions to everyday life — such as social distancing, loss of physical connections and staying home. “We started receiving more calls,” said the group’s director, Porsche Poh, who is also a board member of the World Federation for Mental Health. “And many people are sharing that they were experiencing anxiety.”In response, her group has been reaching out to the elderly, who might not be as tech-savvy. They are also organizing virtual events and concerts to encourage people to connect with one another, come forward to get help and find ways to cope. Related: Study tracks a growing list of COVID-19 symptoms in real-timeMusician Eugene Yip Goh Mingwei joined one recent virtual concert hosted by the group. “I’ve been through mental health issues in the past, and this really kept me going,” Mingwei said. He then sang a cover of "A Little Braver" by New Empire to participants on the call.Increased global awarenessThe last decade has seen a shift in mental health. Awareness has increased worldwide. A turning point came in the late 2000s, when The Lancet, a leading medical journal, established a major commission on global mental health. The United Nations and the World Health Organization have made mental health a priority on their global agenda, and they’ve issued guidelines on recognizing and treating psychological distress from COVID-19.A growing body of research shows mental health interventions can be effective around the globe in a variety of settings, from refugee camps to urban centers.Dr. Vikram Patel, a psychiatrist at Harvard Medical School, has spent the past few decades spreading awareness of and access to mental health services worldwide.“It turns out that psychological pain, just like physical pain, is a fundamental universal human experience.”Dr. Vikram Patel, psychiatrist, Harvard Medical School, Massachusetts“It turns out that psychological pain, just like physical pain, is a fundamental universal human experience,” he told The World last year. “And I think this is a very powerful piece of science because it suggests to us that knowledge around how you can help people with mental health problems recover that has been generated in one context, can have great application in other contexts.” Expensive specialists and formal therapy are not the only ways people can build coping skills. Community members can receive training in ounseling, and there are some core methods that people can adopt to manage anxiety and depression. That includes identifying and doing activities that bring people purpose and enjoymentcan help break cycles of destructive thought and behavior. Other simple techniques that all kinds of mental health specialists recommend include breathing exercises. Still, Patel worries that even while the psychological toll of this pandemic is just beginning, mental health is “being shoved back into the shadows.” Though there is now more awareness about mental health, he said, it is unclear whether governments and health care systems will innovate and invest resources to better respond to the long-term psychological repercussions from COVID-19.“The widening of inequalities in countries, the continuing uncertainties about future waves of the epidemic and the physical distancing policies begin to bite deeper into our mental health,” Patel told The World in an email. “Mental health care systems in most countries will be ill-equipped to deal with this surge, not only because of the paucity of skilled providers but also because of the narrow biomedical models which dominate mental health care.”

In the developing world, 95% of people with a clinically significant mental illness receive no treatment at all, and it costs the global economy an estimated trillion dollars a year. Vikram Patel is a distinguished Indian psychiatrist and The Pershing Square Professor of Global Health at Harvard Medical School. The Mittal Institute's Hasit Shah caught up with him a few days before our 2018 Symposium, where Professor Patel is one of the key speakers.
Can inequality kill you? Are poorer brains smaller? Is poverty (= inequality + deprivation) the mother of all diseases? Do the rich lead shorter lives in unequal countries? (Why) does Law, with its attempted neutrality, often criminalize poverty? How is theft by a rich person different? Can/should the State demand actions off the poor for them to access ‘benefits’? Is providing opportunity enough, or must inequality of agency also always be addressed? Would you drink water from any well? Are there economic benefits of having a socially cohesive society? Does our brain respond to the environment more than any other body part? Why are the poor kids in schools often not learning? Should poverty be defined within the context of communities (& not externally)? What do all the poor have in common? How can policy account for the heterogeneity of responses by different people to any given situation? However, can the poor be thought of as mere individuals? Can deprivation be eradicated in the future? Can striving for short term equality lead to long term efficiency? Must all children be fed and loved? Must every story be heard…? SynTalk thinks about these & more questions using concepts from psychiatry (Prof. Vikram Patel, Harvard Medical School, Massachusetts), economics (Dr. Vijayendra Rao, The World Bank, Washington DC), & law (Dr. Anup Surendranath, National Law University (NLU), Delhi).

The Lancet Psychiatry Editor Niall Boyce talks to authors Vikram Patel and Michael Phillips about the mental health care needs of two countries undergoing massive social and economic change.
TIME 100-listed global mental health advocate Vikram Patel talks about emergency mental health care in low-income settings, and current priorities for research and practice.
Jim al-Khalili talks to psychiatrist Vikram Patel about the global campaign he is leading to tackle mental health. He reflects on his early career working in Zimbabwe, when he doubted any western diagnosis or treatments for peoples' distress would be of much use. However, his subsequent research made him question this and come to the realisation that some conditions, like depression and psychosis, could be tackled universally. Now based in India, Vikram's research guides the public health approach he is taking. Yet critics question the application of Western categories for diagnosis and treatment to other parts of the world. (Photo: Vikram Patel)

An ancient memory training technique is being used to help people with depression. When someone is depressed they can find it hard to remember happier times. Dr Tim Dalgleish's study used the method of loci, associating familiar places with positive memories. What is the best way to treat mental health problems around the world? Vikram Patel, a Wellcome Trust Senior Fellow with the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine and the Sangath Centre in Goa in India, and Professor Pat Bracken, Psychiatrist and Clinical Director of the Mental Health Service in West Cork in Ireland, debate the extent to which a western psychiatric model can be used in low and middle income countries. New research by Helen Weng from the University of Wisconcin Madison has shown that a short course in meditation can increase altruism.
Yemek hazırlarken soğan doğradığımızda, gözlerimizden o tuzlu su damlacıkları (diğer bir deyişle “gözyaşlarımız”) neden süzülür? Ve bu taşan su damlacıkları neden üzgün olduğumuzda da ortaya çıkarlar? Peki neden insanlar duygudurumlarının sonucu olarak gözyaşı akıtan tek hayvandır? Ve bu duygusal ağlama durumu bizi daha iyi hissettirir mi? [Powerpress] Modern insan topluluğumuzda ağlama olayı doğum, ölüm ve evlilik gibi ender, ulvi olaylar sırasında gerçekleşebiliyorken en sıradan bir hadise sonucunda da, örneğin oldukça önemsiz bir kavga sırasında bile gerçekleşebilir. Bilimsel literatür okumanın en eğlenceli taraflarından birisi de temel kavramların tanımlarına göz atmaktır (gerçekten, bu bir şaka değil). Bu yüzden işe ağlamayı tanımlama ile başlayalım. 1993’te , Vikram Patel’den alıntılarsak: “Ağlamak, göz yapısında bir tahriş olmaksızın gözyaşı bezlerinden sıvı salgılanması olarak tanımlanabilen karmaşık salgı-motor (secretomotor) bir tepkidir. Ağlamak; sıklıkla, yüz ifadesini oluşturan kaslardaki değişimler, içgüdüsel sesler ve bazı durumlarda hıçkırıkla birlikte ortaya çıkar, yani çırpınırcasına nefes alıp verme ve solunum ve gövde kaslarındaki kasılma refleksi eşlik eder." İşte şimdi ağlamanın tanımını öğrenmiş olduk. İnsanlık tarihinin büyük bölümünde, başka insanların bulunduğu ortamlarda ağlamak gayet normal olarak bilinirdi. Ta ki sanayi devrimine kadar. Halbuki eski zamanlarda, Yahudi, Yunan ve Romalılar cenazelerde ağladıklarında gözyaşlarını içlerine akıtmak için gözyaşı şişeleri kullanırlardı. Bu küçük şişeler daha sonra bir anma ve saygı ifadesi olarak ölen kişi ile birlikte gömülürdü. Gözyaşı şişesi (Kaynak: http://chapelofhopestories.com) Eski zaman düşünürleri, duygusal ağlamayı anlamaya çalışmışlardı. Hipokrat, ağlamanın beyinde bir şekilde problem yaratan aşırı mizahın güvenli bir biçimde beyinden atılmalasını sağladığını düşünmüştü. Aristo ağlamanın, aklı baskılanmış duygulardan arındırdığını yazmıştı. Romalı şair Ovid ise “Ağlamak rahatlamaktır, böylece keder doyurulur ve gözyaşları ile birlikte dışarı atılır” diye yazmıştı. Assisi’li Aziz Francis görünüşe göre çok fazla ağlamaktan kör olmuştu. 1579’da yapılan ve psikoloji bilgisinden yoksun bir açıklamaya göre ise “Beyin sıkıştırıldığında, çok fazla miktarda gözyaşı akıtılmasına sebep oluyor”du. Rönesans Avrupa’sında, cadı veya kurtadam olmasından şüphelenilen insanlara istek üzerine ağlamaları emredilirdi. Ağlayamadıklarında ise suçlu bulunur ve öldürülürlerdi. Darwin ise şöyle yazmıştı: “Ağlamak, aşırı duygusal durumlardan dolayı kan dolarak genişleyen gözler için rahatlama sağlayan bir olaydır” Bugün ortaya çıkmıştır ki, gözlerimizden süzülen yaşların üç çeşidi vardır. Ağlama eylemi de birbirlerinden bir hayli farklılık gösteren üç biçimde meydana gelir. Öncelikle, gözyaşları. Gözyaşları, her zaman olmasa da çoğunlukla göz boşluğunun üst-dış köşesinde üretilir. Alt-iç köşede ise boşaltma noktaları (0,3 mm çapında minik borular) bulunur. Bu düzenleme şu anlama gelir: Gözlerimiz, gayet etkili bir çapraz-akışlı yağlama sistemine sahiptir. Her iki boru gözyaşını burna ve ordan da ağzımızın arka tarafına boşaltır – ağlarken bazen genizimizde farklı bir tat almamımızın sebebi budur. Göz kırpma ise yaşların göz yuvarlağına eşit miktarda yayılmasına yardımcı olur aynı zamanda fazlalık yaşları da boşaltım borularına doğru hareket ettirir. Her kırpma 0,3 ile 0,4 saniye arasında sürer ve her 2 ila 10 saniye arasında bir göz kırparız. Böylelikle hesaplarsak hayatımız boyunca ortalama yedi yılı kırpılmış gözle geçirdiğimiz ortaya çıkar. Göz yuvarlağımızı çevreleyen gözyaşı zarı içinde 3 tip sıvı bulunmaktadır. Bu sıvılar üç farklı bez tarafından üretilmektedir. İlk olarak, mukoza tabakası hemen göz yuvarlağının üzerinde bulunur. Mukoza, beyaz tabakayı ve göz kapağının iç yüzeyini çevreleyen katmanda yer alan kadeh (goblet) hücreleri tarafından salgılanır. Göz yuvarlağına yapışması ve onu eşit oranda k...

London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine Audio News: Scientists Call For Urgent Attention To The Global Burden Of Mental Disease LONDON—The new Centre For Global Mental Health has been inaugurated at a meeting in London. It's been formed through a partnership between two academic institutions: The London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine and King's Health Partners—a consortium of top London teaching hospitals and King's College, London. It focuses on improving the treatment and prevention of mental illness world-wide, but with a particular priority on low and middle income countries. The co-directors, Vikram Patel of the London School and Martin Prince from The Institute of Psychiatry, together with Benedetto Saraceno, Director of the Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse at the World Health Organisation and Pamela Collins of the US National Institute of Mental Health discuss the issues being addressed by this new research organisation.
Vikram Patel gives an illuminating account of the practice of psychiatry in extreme low resource environments. He talks about the steps necessary to establish effective mental health care, describing first the assessment of needs, the importance of measuring the types of illness, prevalence and impact on daily life and the importance of efficient resourcing when planning. Whilst talking about the problems associated with institutions that still exist in some parts, he also talks about the beneficial work being carried out by other mental health care organisations. He is encouraging of the contribution that psychiatrists from more developed areas can make by working in these low resource environments.

Host: Maurice Pickard, MD Guest: Vikram Patel, PhD People with mental illness face enormous physical and social adversities on a daily basis. In developing countries, this issue becomes all the more prominent due to poor access to effective treatment. Because mental illness often begins to manifest earlier in life, efforts are ongoing across the globe to better integrate mental health with child and adolescent care. Dr. Vikram Patel, professor of international mental health and the Wellcome Trust Senior Clinical Research Fellow at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, speaks to the importance of addressing mental illness in developing countries.
