Mental Health in Bangladesh : From Bench to Community Hardback
Edited by S. M. Yasir Arafat
Hardback
Description
This book is about mental health in Bangladesh. Bangladesh is a densely populated country in South Asia with a population of about 170 million.
It has seen significant economic growth over the last decades, and it has recently improved from being a low-income country to a lower middle-income country.
Currently, Bangladesh is facing a double burden of disease, i.e., both communicable and non-communicable.
About 60% of the disease burden is incured by non-communicable diseases.
Mental disorders are one of the top five burdens of non-communicable disease in the country.
However, psychiatry is a neglected issue in Bangladesh.
There are high stigma, services gaps, out-of-pocket expense, low mental health literacy, and extreme scarcity of budget.
Academically, it has also been under-addressed and under-researched.
Therefore, the editor aims to provide a comprehensive book on mental health in Bangladesh, based on existing evidence and expertise, focusing on academic aspects of community mental health service.
