Abstract:
War, geopolitical instability, and natural disasters have contributed to enormous unmet mental health needs in the Middle East and North Africa. Jordan is a middle-income country that needs internal and international stakeholder engagement and support to effectively provide mental health services to its citizens and to the millions of immigrants and refugees who reside there. This column presents a snapshot of the state of mental health care in Jordan and outlines areas for future investment. Potentially high-yield areas for development include digital health technology, integrated care, and youth-focused interventions.
