    Navigating a stable transition to the age of intelligence: A mental wealth perspective
    (Elsevier, 2024) Occhipinti, Jo-An; Prodan, Ante; Hynes, William; Eyre, Harris A.; Schulze, Alex; Ujdur, Goran; Tanner, Marcel
    In the grand narrative of technological evolution, we are transitioning from the “Age of Information” to the “Age of Intelligence.” Rapid advancements in generative artificial intelligence (AI) are set to reshape society, revolutionize industries, and change the nature of work, challenging our traditional understanding of the dynamics of the economy and its relationship with human productivity and societal prosperity. As we brace for this transformative shift, promising advancements in healthcare, education, productivity, and more, there are concerns of large-scale job loss, mental health repercussions, and risks to social stability and democracy. This paper proposes the concept of Mental Wealth as an action framework that supports nations to proactively position themselves for a smooth transition to the Age of Intelligence while fostering economic and societal prosperity.

    The Brain Health Diplomat's Toolkit: supporting brain health diplomacy leaders in Latin America and the Caribbean
    (Elsevier, 2023) Dawson, Walter D.; Booi, Laura; Pintado-Caipa, Maritza; Okada de Oliveira, Maira; Kornhuber, Alex; Spoden, Natasha; Golonka, Ona; Shallcross, Lenny; Davidziuk, Alejandra; Cominetti, Márcia Regina; Vergara-Manríquez, Mayte; Kochhann, Renata; Robertson, Ian; Eyre, Harris A.; Ibáñez, Agustin
    Maintaining and improving brain health, one of the most critical global challenges of this century, necessitates innovative, interdisciplinary, and collaborative strategies to address the growing challenges in Latin America and the Caribbean. This paper introduces Brain Health Diplomacy (BHD) as a pioneering approach to bridge disciplinary and geographic boundaries and mobilize resources to promote equitable brain health outcomes in the region. Our framework provides a toolkit for emerging brain health leaders, equipping them with essential concepts and practical resources to apply in their professional work and collaborations. By providing case studies, we highlight the importance of culturally sensitive, region-specific interventions to address unique needs of vulnerable populations. By encouraging dialogue, ideation, and cross-sector discussions, we aspire to develop new research, policy, and programmatic avenues. The novel BHD approach has the potential to revolutionize brain health across the region and beyond, ultimately contributing to a more equitable global cognitive health landscape.

    The influence of economic policies on social environments and mental health
    (World Health Organization, 2024) Occhipinti, Jo-An; Skinner, Adam; Doraiswamy, P. Murali; Saxena, Shekhar; Eyre, Harris A.; Hynes, William; Geli, Patricia; Jeste, Dilip V.; Graham, Carol; Song, Christine; Prodan, Ante; Ujdur, Goran; Buchanan, John; Rosenberg, Sebastian; Crosland, Paul; Hickie, Ian B.
    Despite increased advocacy and investments in mental health systems globally, there has been limited progress in reducing mental disorder prevalence. In this paper, we argue that meaningful advancements in population mental health necessitate addressing the fundamental sources of shared distress. Using a systems perspective, economic structures and policies are identified as the potential cause of causes of mental ill-health. Neoliberal ideologies, prioritizing economic optimization and continuous growth, contribute to the promotion of individualism, job insecurity, increasing demands on workers, parental stress, social disconnection and a broad range of manifestations well-recognized to erode mental health. We emphasize the need for mental health researchers and advocates to increasingly engage with the economic policy discourse to draw attention to mental health and well-being implications. We call for a shift towards a well-being economy to better align commercial interests with collective well-being and social prosperity. The involvement of individuals with lived mental ill-health experiences, practitioners and researchers is needed to mobilize communities for change and influence economic policies to safeguard well-being. Additionally, we call for the establishment of national mental wealth observatories to inform coordinated health, social and economic policies and realize the transition to a more sustainable well-being economy that offers promise for progress on population mental health outcomes.
