N2  - Although improved medical technologies, economic developments and social transformations have produced many positive health outcomes, they have also created troubling mental disorders such as depression, dementia, and suicide tendencies. Mental disorders are increasingly of concern to individuals and society; therefore, they must be viewed as a major public health issue. This article examines this health problem and considers strategies world communities can use to deal with mental illnesses.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
