As a result of rapid globalization the Gross Domestic product of countries may have changed, but the gap between the very rich countries and poor countries has changed too, along with a change in social and economic strata within each society; although the rates of psychiatric disorders are affected by industrialization and urbanization, the financial pressures add yet another layer of burden. Global burden of disease due to mental illness is tremendously high and yet, in spite of pressures, there is no equity and increased discrimination related to mental illness. This paper presents some of the issues related to the economic state of the countries. In order to ensure that citizens receive the best treatments available it is important that socio-economic causes and gaps in treatment are identified and dealt with at national levels.
由于全球化的迅速发展，各国的国内生产总值可能发生了变化，但富国与穷国之间的差距也发生了变化，每个社会的社会和经济阶层也有所改变；尽管精神疾病的发病率受到工业化和城市化的影响，但经济压力又增加了一层负担。精神疾病造成的全球疾病负担极高，然而，尽管存在压力，但在精神疾病方面却没有公平可言，歧视现象反而日益严重。本文提出了一些与各国经济状况相关的问题。为了确保公民能够获得现有的最佳治疗，在国家层面识别并解决社会经济原因和治疗差距非常重要。
