Dear Health Professional,

*Global mental health: problems and solutions *

This themed issue is one of the first to link practitioners in low income
and high income countries and global mental health advocates and their
critics in the same forum. The result is a number of different voices with
different perspectives, but all of whom want the same thing: improved
equity in mental health.
