Mental health service availability and delivery at the global level: an analysis by countries’ income level from WHO's Mental Health Atlas 2014

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

The WHO Mental Health Atlas 2014 survey provides basic mental health information at the level of WHO's Member States, concerning mental health resources and activities. Atlas promotes the use of information, usually underestimated not only in low- and middle-income countries but also in high-income countries. Information is needed not only for monitoring the scaling up of the mental health system at country level, but also for improving transparency and accountability for users, families and the public.
