Their model, in which medical students participate in local community mental health placements in low-resource, primary-care settings, introduces a novel means of skill development that is valuable during overseas electives.However, such approaches entail curriculum redesign and considerable administrative, organisational, and educational investment in order to be effective. In view of the current economic climate of austerity, in the UK at least, securing additional funding for such global mental health programmes might be an unrealistic prospect.Curricular adaptations have to be supplemented with low-cost educational interventions that will teach medical students cross-cultural aspects of psychiatric disorders, management of mental health problems with limited resources, and the realities of health care in low-income countries. Furthermore, as the authors identify, “ensuring shared benefit between trainees and host countries is an important challenge in global health education”. Indeed, such projects should be mutually beneficial to students in both low-income and high-income settings, whether in medicine, nursing, pharmacy, or any other health professions. Collaborations between hospitals or trusts in high-income and low-income countries to strengthen health care through exchange of knowledge and skills are common, but the integration of these collaborations at the level of medical school remains weak. The King's Tropical Health and Education Trust (THET) Somaliland Partnership (KTSP) developed a peer-to-peer global mental health e-learning programme for medical students at King's College London, University of Hargeisa, and Amoud University.2Keynejad R Ali FR Handuleh J et al.Telemedicine for peer-to-peer psychiatry learning between U.K. and Somaliland medical students.Acad Psychiatry. 2013; 37: 182-186Crossref PubMed Scopus (16) Google Scholar, 3Keynejad R Garratt E Adem G Finlayson A Whitwell S Syed Sheriff R Improved attitudes to psychiatry: a global mental health peer-to-peer e-learning partnership.Acad Psychiatry. 2014; (published online Aug 15.)https://doi.org/10.1007/s40596-014-0206-8Crossref PubMed Scopus (16) Google Scholar Medical students from each medical school are paired and meet for 1 hour online sessions to discuss global mental health topics.

The diagnosis debateHayes and Bell,1 responding to Boyle and Johnstone,2 argue that the “distinction between purely functional and purely organic does not exist” and that the causes of mental health problems are likely to be multifactorial in most cases. This observation might be true, but offers little assistance to the practising clinician. In the absence of biomarkers that are both testable and map to symptoms with any regularity, the organic contribution to an individual's mental difficulties cannot even be identified, let alone analysed in a clinically useful way.
