- Abstract
In this article, the authors discuss the care packages for mental, neurological and substance use (MNS) disorders in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). They note that there is tremendous inequity in distributing specialist human resources. Study shows that there is large treatment gap for people with MNS disorders. They point out that the proposed packages suggest stepped-care models where treatments were oriented to each individual's needs.
