Dialogues Between Neuroscience and Society: Global Mental Health and Neuroscience

[1:27:29]

Global mental health is slowly but steadily coming out of the shadows. It is benefiting from advances in neuroscience, but not adequately. The potential is much greater. The lecture will present a background of the current state of mental health in the world and then focus on how a closer collaboration between mental health and neuroscience could enhance knowledge and improve population health. Examples from the areas of autism, substance dependence, psychoses, and dementia will help illustrate this potential.
