RE: Reconceptualising the treatment gap for common mental disorders: a fork in the road for global mental health?

In this context, I believe that the paper did not address the part played by psychiatrists, representing mental health services, driven by a push to see quick results and under pressure from pharmaceutical companies, in medicalising and pathologising human distress. I Reconceptualising the treatment gap: a paradigm shift is urgently needed i I read with great interest the article by Roberts et al on reconceptualising the treatment gap, which highlights that the reason we have a gap in mental health treatment is not necessarily the shortage in effective treatments (pharmacological and psychological) - instead, it may be the fact that distressed individuals may not view their distress in medical or psychiatric terms but in terms of the causes of distress being related to socioeconomic circumstances that doctors and medical or psychological treatments cannot help with.
