Estimating the true global burden of mental illness.
TL;DR: It is argued that the global burden of mental illness is underestimated and the reasons for under-estimation are examined to identify five main causes: overlap between psychiatric and neurological disorders; the grouping of suicide and self-harm as a separate category; conflation of all chronic pain syndromes with musculoskeletal disorders; exclusion of personality disorders from disease burden calculations; and inadequate consideration of the contribution of severe mental illness to mortality from associated causes.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors argue that the perceived distinction between the objectivity of science and the subjectivity of culture is itself a social fact (a common perception) and attribute the absence of awareness of the cultural dimensions of scientific practice to this distinction, especially for macrocultures and large societies.
