Burnout: a case for its formal inclusion in classification systems.

467 governments to formulate rational policies through evidencebased decision-making and help adapt global recommendations to local contexts for the entire range of mental health actions. National Mental Health Technical Advisory Groups should comprise multidisciplinary groups of national experts (e.g., academics and health care professionals, scientific societies and non-governmental organizations, and representatives from civil society). They could collect, review, assess and organize scientific evidence on specific mental health-related topics; offer specialized technical and operational assistance to improve levels of implementation; and provide a monitoring function to maintain momentum towards agreed-upon targets and goals, and suggest course corrections when needed. The WHO could perhaps recommend that countries establish such bodies through the World Health Assembly resolution towards the attainment of the WHO Comprehensive Mental Health Action Plan 2013-2030 goals (the number of Technical Advisory Groups established or strengthened could itself serve as a target for global mental health response). The WHO and its partners (including funding agencies) could support countries to establish their Technical Advisory Group, network it with local and regional collaborators, and strengthen its capacity to use evidence-based processes for decision-making aligned with international standards. Will WHO come forward to assist countries in developing the technical capacity that is sorely needed in LMIC capitals, from New Delhi to Maseru? The new World Mental Health Report is a welcome opportunity to harness and catalyze the growing momentum towards applying the large body of scientific evidence to achieve a scaling up of effective interventions for mental health and well-being globally and specifically in low-resource settings.
