  • A poverty-stricken homeless man looks down at the pavement while a smartly-dressed professional puts a finger on his location on a steel map (and his own position in life) - a scene of wealth and prosperity and the downtrodden in society. They are both in a place known as Bank Triangle in what is called the Square Mile, London's oldest district of banking and finance businesses.

  • As suited commuters begin their homeward journeys across London Bridge, towards the station that will transport them home to families and security, a homeless man without the warmth of relatives nor a roof over his head, rants and shouts at the respectable people with jobs and incomes. He has been drinking alcohol and sits leaning against the bridge's wall, pointing and threatening but all walk on past, afraid and embarrassed. We see the social divisions of English society, of prospects and wealth versus hopelessness and poverty as those who are marginalised and perhaps suffering from mental health problems are ignored by the successful capitalist.

  • Inmate chained to the bed at Kissy Mental Hospital in Freetown, Sierra Leone

  • A street beggar has been noticed by a young Italian boy who points out the poor kneeling body to his parent. A stick lies on the ground with a paper cup to collect any spare change offered and a cash customer stands entering his pin number into the automated bank dispenser, his back to the underclass of society. This has become normal for what has become the modern face of Italian society in this once-grand medieval city. The city lies on the River Arno and is known for its history and its importance in the Middle Ages and in the Renaissance, especially for its art and architecture. A centre of medieval European trade and finance and one of the wealthiest cities of the time, Florence has been called the Athens of the Middle Ages.

  • A mentally ill man rocks back and forth in front of an old man resting on a broken charpoy. Behind him, a group smoke cheap heroin in an area full of the homeless, destitute and poor near the Jama Masjid. Delhi, India<br />
It is estimated that around than 150000 people - more than one percent of the city - is homeless and, with constant migration this is increasing on a daily basis. The incidence of mental illness amongst this group is very high. Delhi has little formal provision to deal with such a situation

  • A mentally ill man is examined by Mohammed Omar Faridi, a pir at the Shareef Dargah in New Delhi. Delhi is typical of many Indian cities in that it has very few trained psychiatrists and many people still consult holy men for traditional solutions to their psychiatric needs. As India progresses materially and embraces the market and as traditional familiar and social ties are increasingly broken, incidences of mental health issues appear to be rising.

  • A woman street beggar prostrates herself on a pavement, ignored by Italian shoppers and pedestrians in Florence. As shoppers and tourists walk past in a hurry, pulling suitcases or carrying shopping, the people walk around the kneeling body whose stick lies on the ground with a paper cup to collect any spare change offered. There seems to be a mixture of indifference, pity and shame for what has become the modern face of Italian society in this once-grand medieval city. The city lies on the River Arno and is known for its history and its importance in the Middle Ages and in the Renaissance, especially for its art and architecture. A centre of medieval European trade and finance and one of the wealthiest cities of the time, Florence has been called the Athens of the Middle Ages.

  • A mentally ill man endures an exorcism by Mohammed Omar Faridi, a pir at the Shareef Dargah in New Delhi. Delhi is typical of many Indian cities in that it has very few trained psychiatrists and many people still consult holy men for traditional solutions to their psychiatric needs. As India progresses materially and embraces the market and as traditional familiar and social ties are increasingly broken, incidences of mental health issues appear to be rising.
