Adding to this—people with mental illnesses in developing countries are often stigmatised and shunned by their families, and at worst imprisoned. They are imprisoned due to (1) public order offences (ie being disruptive in public) and (2) a lack of other facilities to accommodate them long term (ie hospital facilities or mental health programmes).
There is a lot that could be done relatively cheaply if this was taken up as a priority.
