How do Chile and Egypt compare in terms of their treatment options for anxiety? How do refugees access mental health systems in host countries? What is normal in relation to mental health, and does normal even exist? We invite students to explore questions such as these and travel with us “down the rabbit hole” of global mental health. This course will offer a broad perspective on mental health through discussions of the most prevalent and impactful mental health disorders around the world and the complexity of mental health as a public health issue.   

This course will begin with an introduction to global mental health followed by in-depth lectures and workshops on history and trends in global mental health, including the importance of cultural sensitivity and systems thinking. Students will work together in groups to use this newly acquired knowledge to debate the ambiguity of mental health and to compare treatment options of a specific mental health issue in two different countries.
