Abstract

The article focuses on a comparative study of mental health systems in Iran and selected countries, highlighting the significance of mental disorders as a leading cause of disability globally. Conducted by researchers from Shahrekord University of Medical Sciences, the study compares Iran's mental health policies with those of Turkey, Iraq, Lebanon, Norway, Canada, and Australia using the WHO Assessment Instrument for Mental Health Systems (WHO-AIMS). The findings indicate that while Iran has established mental health policies, their implementation is hindered by a lack of effective enforcement. The research underscores the varying effectiveness of mental health systems across different countries. [Extracted from the article]
