Abstract

Governments in wealthier countries have taken an increasing interest in mental health in recent years, conscious of its impact on quality of life and the economic consequences of poor mental health. In Africa, however, mental health is still not given the attention and resources it needs, with the majority of the focus being on communicable disorders. This review of the literature looks at the economic effects of mental health in African countries, exploring the difficulties they face and how economic data can be used to push for more investment in mental health. It examines the available information, identifies any gaps in the evidence, and examines how mental health services are provided.  In high-income countries, NGOs have been demonstrated to be a significant factor in the financing, organization, and supply of mental health services, which is of great importance. In African countries, where mental health policy and infrastructure are more limited, NGOs have an even more essential part to play in removing obstacles to the establishment of mental health policy and practice.

Abstract

The study examines attitudes toward getting professional mental health assistance among Russian and Ugandan university students, and it finds notable disparities that are driven by developmental and cultural factors. The following instruments were used in the methodology; to measure the attitudes towards seeking psychological help, the Inventory of Attitudes toward Seeking Mental Health Services (IASMSH) was used; and the Carol D. Ryff psychological well-being scale was used to measure psychological wellbeing.  The results show that attitudes toward therapy, social support, psychological well-being, and emotional openness are all statistically significantly correlated with one other. Interestingly, when it comes to getting psychological assistance, Russian students are more positive than their Ugandan counterparts. Both cohorts have a low use of mental health services, frequently resorting to campus health centres for physical symptoms associated with stress. It is essential to comprehend these elements in order to improve student referral rates and counselling services.
