I was just fooling around with my mask and took this quick mirror shot. I forgot to reset the camera settings so the ISO was set to 3200 (used for low light) but the mistake turned out kinda retro looking so I ended up liking it...
The history of Western psychiatry is replete with mistakes as well as successes. Currently, high-income countries desperately need reforms to enhance the effectiveness, efficiency and availability of behavioral health care (relating to mental functioning and substance use). Meanwhile, developing behavioral health systems in low- and middle-income countries presents major challenges to policy makers. Unmet behavioral health needs and burdens are enormous, but as change occurs, there is the danger that Western mistakes will be repeated.
We need to review bio-psycho-social understandings and see how these may be implemented most effectively in the context of diverse cultures, beliefs and values. Innovations in service delivery, taking advantage of upcoming and adapted technologies, offer opportunities which should be assessed in ways appropriate to those different contexts. We also need to explore how patients’ interests, rights and preferences may be best elicited, protected and acted upon, consistent with institutional and legal norms informed by health care delivery science. Both aspects are key to determining how health systems’ capacity can be built most economically and effectively, and how ‘patients’ can be ‘agents’ in their own behavioral health care.
Close up of the first visible mistake. I tried to knit w/o looking and managed to add a stich.

Later I will darn the hole closed and it shouldn't really be noticeable (which is why I didn't rip).
