Asia is by far the largest continent in the world in terms of area
with population exceeding 3.5 billion and has dozens of cultures,
religions, languages and ethnic groups. As a result of its highly
varied political systems, Asia also spawns a wide variety of health
care systems including mental health care systems, often based on
historical roots and at times colonial heritages. The people who
suffer from mental or neurological disorders in the continent form
a vulnerable section of society and often face stigma,
discrimination and marginalization in all societies, and this
increases the likelihood that their human rights will be violated
This book tackles the issue of mental health legislation in South
Asia. The first of its kind, it addresses an issue that is
necessary for protecting the rights of people with mental disorders
and serves as an essential text for reinforcing mental health
policy in South Asia. It is a timely addition to our global
understanding of mental health and how different regions address
it.
