I wish to find out how health care services (especially mental health) could be improved in villages in countries sub of the sahara where superstition still reigns.

Newly Republican as of  October of 2009..I feel children and women should come before men..Only real men don't cheat in relationships 

I  agree with you , My heart goes out to people who are  in need  of mental  health care but  can't  get  it  cause of  some reason or  another

Some  religions  think  that cause you have Bipolar depression  disorder  or Schizophrenia  that  you have  are  demons  possessed which is  not true

Mental illness as we understand it is based on social and cultural constructs of the Western hemisphere.  It is not ethical to try to force our model on other cultures who continue to believe in superstition or disbelieve in psychiatric illness.  The best approach is to incorporate culturally sensitive values with the best science available to aid those who suffer from mental illness.

education is the key here. There is still a taboo surrounding mental health all over the world. personally,i wish mental health was a compulsory subject in schools of all children aged eleven and above. if you can manage to educate the right people with the real facts, regarding mental health then you will be half way there. people are only worried and scared of something they do not understand. GOOD LUCKSmile
