商品描述
This book aims to provide a comparative analysis of mental health service delivery in the Middle East to shed light on challenges and disparities in access to care. The Middle East is a region rich in diversity, covering various countries and cultures. Most observers have attested to the view that countries in the Middle East have a substantial treatment gap for people with mental illness. Only a tiny fraction of the population with mental illness can access evidence-based mental health care. There are multiple challenges associated with this region, including insufficient funding and research, a shortage of skilled professionals, substantial out-of-pocket expenses, low levels of mental health literacy, income inequality, and a high level of stigma. While governments are making efforts to address this gap through improved mental health policies and programmes, providing mental health care to all those in need remains a significant challenge. In addition, many Middle East countries are contending with conflicts, wars, terrorism, and all of which can potentially give rise to various behavioural and mental disorders.

本書旨在提供中東地區心理健康服務交付的比較分析，以揭示獲得護理的挑戰和差異。中東是一個多元化的地區，涵蓋了多個國家和文化。大多數觀察者都認為，中東國家在心理疾病患者的治療上存在顯著的缺口。只有極少數的心理疾病患者能夠獲得基於證據的心理健康護理。這個地區面臨多重挑戰，包括資金和研究不足、專業人員短缺、龐大的自付費用、心理健康素養低、收入不平等以及高度的污名化。儘管各國政府正在努力通過改善心理健康政策和計劃來解決這一缺口，但為所有需要的人提供心理健康護理仍然是一項重大挑戰。此外，許多中東國家正面臨衝突、戰爭、恐怖主義等問題，這些都可能導致各種行為和心理障礙的產生。
