SPHC Myanmar - Mental Health Care Burden on Family, Community and Health Care Professionals in Myanmar: A Qualitative Assessment
Mental health is crucial to a person’s well-being, healthy family and interpersonal relationships. Mental health problems include disorders such as depression, psychoses, self-harm/suicide, epilepsy, dementia, disorders due to substance use, and mental and behavioural disorders. The Global Burden of Disease ranked Anxiety disorders and Depressive disorders as 9th and 10th respectively for causing the most disability in Myanmar in 2017.
A very limited number of studies attempted to explore the perceptions and challenges in the provision and utilization of mental health services. A qualitative study was conducted among Healthcare service providers, Caregivers of mentally disabled persons, and Community leaders to explore the barriers and challenges in providing and utilizing mental health services in Myanmar.
