"Ugo Ikwuka’s book is an extraordinary achievement. It forensically
interrogates the field and it is the only book to my knowledge that
systematically examines and records the manifold contributions to
the burdens of living with mental disorder in a globalised world.

in-depth and broad-ranging analysis of the challenges facing mental
health from a global perspective in the 21st Century, with a
particular emphasis on low and middle-income countries. The
consequences of global disparities in mental healthcare and mental
health education have implications for global economic health and
political stability too. This book offers a thoughtful and robust
analysis of the priorities and solutions that should be considered
if the world is to overcome mental healthcare inequalities." Dr
