Mental health and politics since the eurozone crisis: The role of mental health professionals. Eur Psychiatry. 2019 Sep 07;62:28-29 Authors: Perera IM Abstract Some of the most immediate health effects of the 2008 economic crisis concerned the mind, not the body. Rates of generalized anxiety, chronic depression, and even suicide spiked in many European societies. This viewpoint highlights the role of mental health professionals in responding to this emergency, and argues that their sustained mobilization is necessary to its long-term resolution.
