It’s hard to tell from your summary whether your post would be a good fit for the forum. It would be easier if you said what kind of methods you used to investigate the mental health cause area. For example, did you read several EA documents and summarize them? Did you read the websites of several charities? Something else?
I’m glad you’re going to be getting involved online!
Hi Khorton,
yes, it is a summary from several EA sources (more details are in the linked article).
The main value of the article is in compiling them to be actionable for a small donor: It argues the cause passes the importance/neglectedness/tractability criteria, compares impact and cost-effectiveness with malaria treatment, and suggests a donation recipient (StrongMinds) with discussion of other options.
I know I’ve seen arguments for mental health as a cause area on the Forum before, using the INT framework. You might want to do a quick search to confirm whether your key arguments have been well-represented on here.
