Journal Title: Annals of Psychiatry and Treatment - Year 2017, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
The rapid growth of information communication technology (ICT) has brought new hope for people with mental illness who were beyond health and social service for long time. It has transformed the health service for many Low and Middle Income Countries and most of the governments are motivated to incorporate information communication technology for health sector. As the developing countries are stressed with high demand in contrast to low resources, here, mental health hardly receives adequate attention overcoming all the other priority issues. However, evidence revealed more than 75% of the affected people with mental disorders live in this region and in the least resource area about 90% of the affected people do not get their required care [1].
