WHO RECOMMENDATIONS ON HOW TO ADDRESS PSYCHOSOCIAL REACTIONS TO EMERGENCIES
In our rapidly changing world, numerous people are affected by various
forms of emergencies including natural disasters, armed conflict and

THE WORLD HEALTH REPORT 2001
MENTAL HEALTH: NEW UNDERSTANDING, NEW HOPE
Geneva -- The World Health Report 2001 "Mental Health: New Understanding,
New Hope" was launched by WHO Director-General Gro Harlem Brundtland in
Geneva Switzerland today. The Report is a review of the status of knowledge
and research about mental and neurological disorders and provides a roadmap
for a global reform of mental health care and prevention. The report
details 10 recommendations by governments and outlines three different
scenarios for action, based on countries' level of affluence and economic
development.
Stressing that mental illness is not a personal failure, Dr Brundtland
stated that "If there is failure, it is in the way we have responded to
people with mental and neurological disorders. I hope this report will
dispel long-held prejudices and mark the beginning of a new era in the
field of mental health care."
Neuropsychiatric disorders currently account for nearly one third of the
disability in the world - affecting rich and poor nations alike.

PSYCHOSOCIALES DANS LES SITUATIONS D'URGENCE
Dans notre monde en evolution rapide, de nombreuses personnes sont victimes

elles donnent lieu et d'y repondre. L'OMS a publie un bref resume de ce que
nous savons sur les reactions humaines aux situations d'urgence et de ce
que nous pouvons faire pour aider a les surmonter.
