“…Looking more specifically to child mental health, children and adolescents represent more than one-third of the world's population, and psychiatric disorders are the leading worldwide cause for disability in childhood (Ordóñez & Collins, 2015). In many countries in sub-Saharan Africa, there is substantial stigma around mental health issues that also proves to be a barrier to receiving care.…”

This month's commentary comes to you from Eldoret, Kenya, where a group of child clinical psychologists and child and adolescent psychiatry fellows from Brown Medical School are completing a rotation in global mental health. We are collaborating with Kenyan colleagues in the Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences Department at the Moi University School of Medicine, learning about providing mental health services in resource‐poor settings, and hoping to provide some training in treatments that are more commonly provided in the United States.

“…Two other substantial components of this future are the management of socio-cultural aspects of mental health care and a much needed approach between GMH and neurosciences (56,70,76,91). Both can only materialize on the basis of cogently conceived international, cooperative research programs (92).…”

“…Well-documented demands of efficiency, flexibility, practicality, clinical pertinence and cultural adaptability and applicability have been made regarding both DSM-5 and ICD (73,74). Clinical research with a GMH outreach include themes of integrated care, special populations, risk factors, comorbidities, sub-threshold disorders and "functional im-provement" (75)(76)(77)(78)(79). Epidemiological studies regarding NMS disorders and gap treatments (41), and innovative service provisions of cultural consultations in general hospital settings, cost effectiveness and the institutionalization of use of research findings(80-82) are outstanding contributions.…”

Global Mental Health and systems of diagnostic classification: clinical and cultural perspectives

Historical and conceptual aspects of Global Health and Global Mental Health are examined and topics such as resources, professional and social attitudes toward mental disorders, the multidimensional experience of getting ill and the presence of world systems of psychiatric diagnosis and classification, are reviewed. The application of these areas of knowledge in medical practice require the integrated use of clinical and socio-cultural perspectives whose precise alignment is an essential component of accurate diagnoses, successful treatments and a consistent improvement of mental health as a component of public health. The latter includes preventive measures applicable to general populations, communities and health care proper. Management of socio-cultural aspects of diagnosis and treatment is imperative as is that of the growing relationship between mental health and neurosciences. The operationalization of this series of interactive processes must be part of legislations which, in turn, can make training, research and dissemination of the resulting data, possible.

“…The known familial risk factors range from economic scarcity (Duncan, Magnuson, & VotrubaDrzal, 2014;Huston & Bentley, 2010;Thompson, 2014) to mental health problems (Leight, Fitelson, Weston, & Wisner, 2010;Murray & Cooper, 1997) and attitudes (Velders et al, 2011;Wille, Bettge, & Ravens-Sieberer, 2008) from side of the parents, but also include infant characteristics requiring intensified parental care, such as multiple pregnancies, preterm birth, or illness (Leonard & Denton, 2006). Many studies have shown possible middle-and long-term influences of risk factors on infant health leading to increased mental health problems (Ordonez & Collins, 2015;Rolim Lima et al, 2013;Zalsman, Birmaher, & Brent, 2006) as well as emotional and behavioural problems (Edwards & Hans, 2015;Magee & Roy, 2008;Smeekens, Riksen-Walraven, & van Bakel, 2007;Velders et al, 2011). Moreover, it has been shown that the healthy development of a child is particularly at risk, if several psychosocial risk factors occur simultaneously in the family (Bauman, Silver, & Stein, 2006;Edwards & Hans, 2015;Wille et al, 2008).…”

“…Care and intervention programmes designed to meet the special needs of these families have been shown to lead to enhanced parental resources, and thereby better outcomes for children (Knerr, Gardner, & Cluver, 2013;Komro, Tobler, Delisle, O'Mara, & Wagenaar, 2013;Sidor, Kunz, Eickhorst, & Cierpka, 2013;Windorfer, 2009;Zeanah, Berlin, & Boris, 2011). Mental disorders often have very early origins (Ordonez & Collins, 2015) and stress during pregnancy, and the early years of life are known to be particularly harmful and influential (Buss, Entringer, & Wadhwa, 2012;Lupien, McEwen, Gunnar, & Heim, 2009;Shonkoff, Boyce, & McEwen, 2009;Tegethoff, Greene, Olsen, Schaffner, & Meinlschmidt, 2011). Similarly, the negative effects of poverty on a child's development seem to be most pronounced if the exposure happens during the first years of life (Dearing, Berry, & Zaslow, 2005;Duncan et al, 2014;Huston & Bentley, 2010).…”

Introduction: Psychosocial resources of parents are vital for the health and development of their children. Families in stressful circumstances should receive early seamless care to strengthen their parental resources. Independent midwives provide ambulant postpartum care in most families in Switzerland, and hence could play an important role in the early assessment and care of families at risk. Methods: Comprehensive routine data of Swiss independent midwives were used for secondary analysis. Frequencies of known psychosocial risk factors were derived and compared to other data sources. Group comparisons were made with respect to family characteristics and midwifery care. Results: Only some of the considered risk factors are representable in the midwives' data. 18.6% of all families have one and 6.25% have multiple such representable risk factors. Immigrant mothers from developing and emerging countries, very young or older mothers and large families are thereby particularly often affected. Burdened families receive more home visits, but have a later onset of ambulant postpartum care. They suffer more often from breast-feeding problems and are more frequently referred to other disciplines. Discussion: Independent midwives in Switzerland document some of the known psychosocial risk factors and adapt their care in routine practice. The collection of data with a better coverage of the known psychosocial risk factors, ideally using validated assessment instruments, is recommended, and further research is required for a more in-depth understanding of the current interdisciplinary collaboration and the needs of families and care providers.
