please can you find references to support that people with mental illness have good utilisation of primary care services in the context of a high-middle-income, low-middle-income or low-income country

The provided research articles do not support the premise that people with mental illness have good utilization of primary care services in Thailand or other cited Asian countries. Instead, the evidence consistently highlights significant treatment gaps and low service utilization across low-middle-income and high-middle-income Asian settings. The only example of high contact coverage in an integrated primary care setting within the provided context comes from a study in rural Ethiopia.

Mental Health Service Utilization in Thailand

The provided articles do not contain specific data or statistics regarding primary care utilization for mental illness in Thailand. The only reference to Thailand is the location of a regional meeting, "NCDs in Focus," held in Bangkok in 2019 to discuss gaps in non-communicable disease (NCD) management (Direct, High; PMID: 40502861).

Service Utilization in Asian Countries

In the Asian countries represented in the provided literature, mental health service utilization is documented as follows:

• Vietnam: Adolescent mental health service utilization is reported at 6.6% (95% CI: 4.5–9.6). For adolescents with a diagnostic mental disorder, the rate is 8.2% (Direct, High; PMID: 40739641).
• India: The treatment gap for mental illnesses is estimated to be approximately 95%, with only 1 in 20 individuals receiving any treatment (Direct, High; PMID: 37106395). In Northern India, situational analysis found no referrals made from primary healthcare centres to district hospitals for mental illness over a one-year period (Direct, High; PMID: 37106395).
• Nepal: The treatment gap for severe mental disorders in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), including Nepal, is estimated between 76.3% and 85.4% (Direct, High; PMID: 40370428).

Barriers to Primary Care Utilization in Asia

Low utilization in these regions is attributed to several recurring structural and social factors:
* Workforce Shortages: In Indonesia, there are approximately 600 psychiatrists for the entire country, with the majority concentrated in Jakarta (Direct, High; PMID: 40739641).
* Stigma and Discrimination: In India, poor utilization is rooted in feared discrimination, embarrassment, and the use of stigmatizing terms like "paagal" (mad) (Direct, High; PMID: 37106395). In Nepal, patients fear being labeled "crazy" (Direct, High; PMID: 40370428).
* Systemic Fragmentation: Primary care and mental health are often segregated, with primary health centers in Indonesia focusing on physical metrics like blood pressure while neglecting mental health (Direct, High; PMID: 40502861).

Evidence of Successful Utilization (Out-of-Region)

The provided context includes one instance of high utilization following a specific intervention in a low-income country:
* Ethiopia: A community-based study of a new integrated primary mental healthcare service in rural Ethiopia reported high contact coverage for people with severe mental disorders. This success was attributed to intensive case ascertainment using health extension workers and community key informants (Direct, High; PMID: 31890003).

In summary, while the provided articles discuss the need for better integration to achieve good utilization in Asia, the current data for Indonesia, Vietnam, India, and Nepal reflect substantial unmet needs and low engagement with primary care for mental health concerns.
