health, basic training needs to be improved, continuing education in assessment, diagnosis using guidelines such as the WHO primary care guidelines. This integration is certainly aided by communication. Even though the country is proclaimed a 'Developed Country,' people with impaired mental health often experience gross human rights violations, discrimination, and stigma. We urgently need to build capacity to tackle stigma and promote human rights. The World Health Organization (WHO) issued 4 criteria which indicate
that we are mentally healthy:
1) Every individual realizes his or her own potential 2) Can cope with the normal stresses of life 3) Can work productively and fruitfully 4) Able to make a contribution to her or his community Urgently need political assistance at the domestic level, to support mental health in public policy. It's not difficult, but keep working to improve and promote mental health.
After World War 1, the United States saw a substantial decrease in the number of immigrants coming into the country. The government took advantage of this period by introducing new immigration laws, ones that would preserve the good name of America by stopping certain people from coming into the country. These groups included people of color and Jewish people. These policies were further enforced when The Great Depression hit, as the president did not want “economic burdens” coming into the United States.
