Abstract
Communities show understandable concern over those of their members who have mental health problems. Apart from a general compassion for the welfare of our fellow citizens, that reaction might be partly attributable to the finding of several surveys that a large fraction of the population, perhaps as many as a quarter, will themselves experience such problems at some point in their lives. This has been found in the United Kingdom (McManus et al., 2009) and also worldwide (World Health Organization, 2001). While some researchers have expressed reservations about how these kinds of data are collected, there seems little doubt that large numbers of people directly experience problems in this respect. Many more do so indirectly by supporting a troubled relative or friend.
