Depression underdiagnosis: Prevalence and associated factors. A population-based study
2022, Journal of Psychiatric ResearchCitation Excerpt :Delay in diagnosis and treatment are associated with lower remission and poorer prognosis (Ghio et al., 2014) (Ghio et al., 2015). One major obstacle for increasing depression diagnosis among low and midlle-low income countries is the scarse and limited training of primary care professionals who are responsible for treating 90% of cases of mental illness in the world (Jacob and Patel 2014). Other issue is the lack of diagnostic classifications that allow the identification of depressive disorders in primary care (Goldberg et al. 2012; Ziebold et al., 2019b; Ziebold et al., 2019a).
Modified assertive community treatment program for patients with schizophrenia: Effectiveness and perspectives of service consumers from a South Indian setting

“Is there a medicine for these tensions?” Barriers to treatment-seeking for depressive symptoms in rural India: A qualitative study
2020, Social Science and MedicineCitation Excerpt :Mills (2015) argues that translating situated accounts of suffering into context-free psychiatric diagnoses involves abstracting symptoms from their personal and social context, and framing problems as brain-based disorders, rather than a sign of disruption in a person's “lifeworld”; that is, those experiences, activities, and social networks that make human life meaningful (Lewis-Fernández and Kirmayer, 2019). Framing mental health problems in individual terms thus obscures the role of wider determinants, and encourages the provision of medical interventions rather than public health approaches (Jacob, 2013; Jacob and Patel, 2014). Relatedly, the reach paradigm implies that appropriate support consists of individual treatment, thus excluding community-level responses, or action on the causes of distress.
