Abstract
With up to 50% of individuals in the “developed” world and up to 85% in the “developing” world assessed to have mental health problems but receiving no treatment (1), inevitable questions arise about the reasons for the gap. There are standard explanations – issues of access, cost and manpower; issues of mental health literacy or lack thereof; and of course, the large set of issues of prejudice and discrimination that we call stigma. But the now extensive list of research correlates that have been documented across hundreds of studies have yet to unravel the subtleties that underlie the dilemma of unmet need.
