Financial crises: Impact on mental health and suggested responses
Abstract
In this editorial, the editors offer an evidence-based account of topical issue (financial crisis) and make response suggestions based on the experience gained from Greece as an example of a country severely affected by a financial crisis. The financial crisis in Greece has adversely affected the physical and mental health of the population. Reports from Greece are particularly relevant because on the basis of them one may predict what is likely to happen in other countries ('contagion' of the mental health effects of the crisis), especially those with similar cultural and societal characteristics.
