This paper describes the burden of mental disorders among sub-Saharan African and Chinese populations. Data on mental disorders in these populations provide contrasting patterns, and sometime conflicting results. Many factors could explain variations in data reported in this paper including the mental health-migration interface, differences in the operational definition and measurement of mental disorders within and between countries. Nonetheless, well-known risk factors that could explain the observed differential pattern in mental disorders in Sub-Saharan Africa and China are similar, but manifest multi-dimensionally due to differences in socio-political and economic environments.
本文描述了撒哈拉以南非洲和中国人群中心理障碍的负担。这些人群中心理障碍的数据呈现出对比的模式，有时甚至是相互矛盾的结果。许多因素可以解释本文报告的数据差异，包括心理健康与移民的关系、国家内部和国家之间在心理障碍的定义和测量上的差异。尽管如此，一些众所周知的风险因素可以解释撒哈拉以南非洲和中国观察到的心理障碍的差异模式，这些因素是相似的，但由于社会政治和经济环境的差异，表现出多维性。
