Mental health care is in crisis.
Dévora Kestel, Director of WHO’s Mental Health and Substance Use Department called for change: “Every country has ample opportunity to make meaningful progress towards better mental health for its population. Whether developing stronger mental health policies and laws, covering mental health in insurance schemes, developing or strengthening community mental health services or integrating mental health into general health care, schools, and prisons, the many examples in this report show that the strategic changes can make a big difference.”

Romanian, no fixed address
The court heard Pintaru is a Romanian citizen of no fixed address, while prosecutor David Burns said a woman and her 11-year-old daughter were in Leicester Square as tourists.
A man then "approached the girl, placed her into a headlock, he's then stabbed her eight times to the body", Mr Burns said.
He added she was wounded in the face, shoulder, wrist and neck area.
Mr Burns told the court the girl is still in hospital and will need plastic surgery.

The Australian foreign ministry disclosed her nationality on Tuesday and said it was offering assistance to the girl and her mother, who was with her at the time of the attack.
Both had been visiting London on holiday when they were set upon in the popular tourist district on Monday.
