Anyone who has paid even only cursory attention to the global news over the last decade or so should be well aware that Europe has endured, and in many ways is still enduring, significant upheaval, major socio-economic and geopolitical changes/challenges. 1 These challenges and developments can have a direct and indirect impact on mental health-care policy, on mental health service user outcomes and experiences and on psychiatric/mental health nursing practice, education and research. According to the World Health Organisation—European Regional Office — mental health problems account for almost 20% of the burden of disease in the WHO European Region and now affect one in four people in Europe at some time in their life. Additionally, according to the findings of several significant studies, results reveal that (so-called) mental disorders have become Europe's largest health challenge in the twenty-first century.
