a contribution to her or his community (sense of
purpose).

 a WHO programme, launched in 2008, to scale up

care for MNS disorders.
 asserts that, with proper care, psychosocial
assistance and medication, tens of millions of people
could be treated for depression, psychoses and

normal lives – even where resources are scarce.
 focus is to increase non-specialist care, including
non-specialized health care, to address the unmet
needs of people with priority MNS conditions.
