NPR: Study shows care for mentally ill lacking

An audio of the Morning Edition deals with this issue. Click above.

"A new study in The Lancet, an independent voice in global medicine, shows no country does a particularly good job caring for those with serious psychiatric illnesses. Among findings: in Africa, there's one psychiatrist for every 2 million people; while in Europe, there's one for every 10,000. Still, there are things poor countries can do to help the mentally ill."
