Happy New year! In this episode I host Dr. Jackie Kisakye from Uganda. Dr. Jackie talks about mental health in Uganda and 3rd world countries. We discuss how some 450 million people worldwide currently suffer from some form of mental disease or brain condition, but almost half the countries in the world have no explicit mental health policy and nearly a third have no program for coping with the rising tide of brain-related disabilities. 41% have no mental health policy, 25% have no legislation on mental health, 28% have no separate budget for mental health, 41% do not have treatment facilities for severe mental disorders in primary healthcare. Tune in to listen and learn about how people in these 3rd world countries deal with mental health.
