NPR (10/15, Silberner) reports on its website that the Lancet Commission on Global Mental Health released “a comprehensive report” on mental health and mental illness around the world. NPR says that while “it’s a major milestone in the fight to recognize mental health and mental illness as global issues,” the release of the report “was not a celebratory event,” because “threaded throughout the 45-page report is a lament that the world is ignoring millions of suffering people.” The report calls international financial support for mental healthcare and people with mental illnesses “pitifully small.”
