Integrating mental health with physical health understanding & treatment would really transform outcomes. I started my career in mental health intervention research and it’s hard to see so many years later the same efforts having to be made. The org I first worked with has a campaign on now Mental health is health, making the case it’s debilitating nonsense that some illnesses are treated like illnesses while others are treated with judgement, neglect, silence.
I appreciate stand-alone, MH illness specific action as it’s so neglected and also wonder if whole-health integration as a goal for effective interventions would raise all boats, so to speak?
Mental health IS health. Period.
