More than 450 million people around the world have mental health problems. For International Mental Health Day Claudia Hammond asks why for some of those people the care they receive is getting worse. Our reporters in Ghana and Cameroon uncover neglect and even abuse. We examine why mental health seems to get forgotten by society and by many international funders. We look at whether it’s possible to change attitudes towards mental illness.
