Welcome!
This blog has been created to introduce you to mental health issues around the world, many of which are unique to particular cultures. While most of you already have some knowledge about mental health, I encourage you to read some of the articles, watch some of the videos, and think about some of the dilemmas presented here. The consequences of mental illness for the sufferer, their family, and society are staggering when left untreated.
An interesting article and accompanying video from Dana, about deep brain stimulation for treatment resistant depression. Read the story of Edi Guyton who had debilitating depression for 40 years until her experimental brain surgery.
