While many development professionals recognise the need to do more for mental health, they do not always know where to begin. This topic guide is intended as a primer for development professionals interested in learning more about the basics specifically:

  • What are some of the key concepts and definitions in mental health?
  • Why has mental health emerged as a development priority in recent years?
  • What is the current situation in LMICs?
  • How does mental health intersect with other key areas of development?
  • What is the current state of the evidence, and where are the gaps?

This is not a comprehensive report or a substitute for formal training in mental health. A list of additional learning opportunities and resources is provided for further study in section 7.
