Positive Psychiatry and Mental Health
Mental illness and distress are ubiquitous in today's environment, and they account for a large portion of the community's disability burden. Simultaneously, there is a growing interest in understanding and improving positive mental health and wellbeing, thanks in part to advances in the fields of positive psychology and mental health promotion. Positive psychiatry (Jeste et al 2016) is a new concept that offers a dual approach to mental health in which you cultivate strengths, support, and healthy lifestyles while also treating sickness and distress.
This course will cover a variety of topics related to mental health, as well as an overview of the basic types of mental diseases, their causes, treatments, and how to seek assistance and support. You will hear from "lived experience experts," people who have lived with mental illness and shared their personal tales of recovery, as well as a huge number of Australian professionals in psychiatry, psychology, and mental health research.
