KEYNOTE ABSTRACT An HIV/AIDS paradigm to overcome the depression global crisis Depression constitutes one of the major mental health crisis today, and it virtually affects every country and culture in the world. The experiences with HIV/AIDS over the last four decades are presented as a tentative model to confront depression at the global level. It is argued that depression will only diminish if there is a response that arises from different sectors of society as demonstrated in HIV AIDS. In this presentation, we will argue that disparities in the treatment of depression, like in HIV/ AIDS, will diminish when psychologists, paraprofessionals and the like competently apply empirically validated intervention programs which take into account the cultural context in which they occur. |
