As a starting point, the note indicates that an increased awareness on the causes, prevention, and interventions of mental disorders should be promoted, as should increasing numbers of health workers, and providers in such areas. It is also suggested that demand for mental, and neurological services needs to be voiced, through health education programs to combat the stigma, and raise awareness of what mental disorders really are. 2012-08-13T09:21:57Z 2012-08-13T09:21:57Z 2003-10 http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/2003/10/11982973/mental-health http://hdl.handle.net/10986/9719 English at a glance CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo/ World Bank Washington, DC Publications & Research :: Brief Publications & Research
