It took us years to write this one, but I'm so glad it's finally out. I thank all those who were involved in this initiative in Latin America (and beyond), especially peers and community mental health workers @livpl12 ps.psychiatryonline.org/doi/10.1176/ap…

Insightful event next week with @FrancoMasc presenting research on mental illness in Latin America and community interventions. Learn more and register here: …ine-matters.blogs.hopkinsmedicine.org/2026/01/examin…

Thank you for writing this very much needed thread, @d_krugman! @TheLancet should not have published this article in this form. Or should at least have published an editorial at the same time, to reframe it in a way that takes seriously the agency of people in the global South.
