mental-health clinic, perched atop a hill in the old town of Jordan’s capital, Walaa Etawi, the manager, and her colleagues list the countries from where they see refugees—and what ails them. There are Iraqis , Syrians , Sudanese , and at least ten other nationalities. By official estimates, 1.4m people have poured into Jordan from Syria’s civil war alone. Disaster-relief groups like the International Medical Corps , which runs the Jabal Amman clinic, came to help.
This approach has also been formalised as a way of preventing post-traumatic stress disorder. In Western countries it has been adopted by emergency responders helping people who have been through traumatic events. Of necessity, the version used for refugees and survivors of natural disasters also includes help with pressing practical issues, such as finding safe housing and making contact with others from their village or town.
In Western countries a psychotherapist’s qualification usually takes several years of training, on top of a university degree. Dixon Chibanda, a psychiatrist in Zimbabwe, showed that lay people can be trained in a couple of weeks to do some parts of the job. In 2005 in Zimbabwe’s capital, Harare, the bulldozing of slums that voted for the opposition left 700,000 people homeless. Many were also viciously beaten by the police.
The idea of using non-specialists is spreading in Europe, too. Italy is testing guidelines for mild perinatal depression that, so far, have been used only in poor countries such as Pakistan to train village paramedics with at best a secondary education. Italy is trying the approach with midwives, who would provide some of the perinatal-depression care now reserved for psychiatrists.

Kamala Harris says slavery led to untreated 'physiological outcomes,' supports reparations as mental health issueSenator Kamala Harris, a contender for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination, said that reparations should be made to the African-American community, explaining that more needed to be done to address mental health.

Mental health problems are on the rise among American teens and young adultsA study published Thursday finds that U.S. teens and young adults in 2017 were more distressed, more likely to suffer from major depression, and more prone to suicide than their counterparts in the millennial generation were at the same age. And if they turned off the liberal media outlets and turned away from their liberal/socialist teachers who are all projecting there own misery because.... drum roll... Trump beat Hillary in 2016, teens would be 100% happier. Liberals built this. Too much social media, too much screen time, not enough interaction with the world, and increased online social media bullying. And complete lack of actual hands-on parenting, instead of kids being babysat by devices. Well since we only have twelve years to live according to all the smart people, why WOULDNT they be suicidal?
