Socio-Economic Factors Influencing Utilization Of Mental Health Services In The Ashiaman Municipality Of Ghana

ABSTRACT

Background Mental Health, mostly overlooked as a non-communicable disease, is becoming an issue of national concern. Though the Mental Health Act 846 of 2012 was passed into law in 2012, mental health services seem to be virtually invisible in many communities. Persons with mental health disorders are mostly stigmatized and discriminated, suffering low quality of life in their diverse communities. This study sought to identify the factors influencing mental health utilization at the community level and to recommend solutions to improve both the service and its availability.
