{{main|Treatment of mental disorders}}


Mental health services may be based in hospitals, clinics or the community. Often an individual may engage in different treatment modalities. They may be under [[case management]] (sometimes referred to as "service coordination"), use inpatient or [[partial hospitalization|day treatment]], utilize a [[Clubhouse Model of Psychosocial Rehabilitation|psychosocial rehabilitation]] program, and/or take part in an [[Assertive Community Treatment]] program. Individuals may be treated against their will in some cases, especially if assessed to be at high risk to themselves or others. Services in some countries are increasingly based on a [[Recovery model]] that supports an individual's journey to regain a meaningful life.
== [[Mental disorder risk factors|Risk Factors]] ==


===Psychotherapy===
== [[Mental disorder screening|Screening]] ==
A major option for many mental disorders is [[psychotherapy]]. There are several main types. [[Cognitive behavioral therapy]] (CBT) is widely used and is based on modifying the patterns of thought and behavior associated with a particular disorder. [[Psychoanalysis]], addressing underlying psychic conflicts and defenses, has been a dominant school of psychotherapy and is still in use. [[Systemic therapy]] or [[family therapy]] is sometimes used, addressing a network of signicant others as well as an individual. Some psychotherapies are based on a [[humanistic psychology|humanistic]] approach. There are a number of specific therapies used for particular disorders, which may be offshoots or hybrids of the above types. [[Mental health professionals]] often employ an [[Integrative Psychotherapy|eclectic or integrative approach]]. Much may depend on the [[therapeutic relationship]], and there may be problems with [[Trust (social sciences)|trust]], confidentiality and engagement.


===Medication===
== [[Mental disorder natural history, complications and prognosis|Natural History, Complications and Prognosis]] ==


===Other===
==Diagnosis==
Electroconvulsive therapy ([[ECT]]) is sometimes used in severe cases when other interventions for severe intractable depression have failed. [[Psychosurgery]], best known as the form known as a "frontal lobotomy", is no longer generally used. [[Psychoeducation]] may be used to provide people with the information to understand and manage their problems. Creative therapies are sometimes used, including [[music therapy]], [[art therapy]] or [[drama therapy]]. Lifestyle adjustments and supportive measures are often used, including [[peer support]], [[self-help]] and supported housing or employment. Some advocate [[dietary supplements]] based on published randomized double-blind, placebo controlled trials<ref>Lakhan SE; Vieira KF. [http://www.nutritionj.com/content/7/1/2 Nutritional therapies for mental disorders]. ''Nutrition Journal'' 2008;7(2).</ref>. Many things have been found to help at least some people. A [[placebo]] effect may play a role in any intervention.

The [[Consumer/Survivor Movement]] (also known as user/survivor movement) is made up of individuals (and organizations representing them) who are clients of mental health services or who consider themselves "survivors" of mental health services. The movement campaigns for improved mental health services and for more involvement and empowerment within mental health services, policies and wider society.<ref>Everett, B.

== Laws and policies ==
Three quarters of countries around the world have mental
health legislation. Compulsory admission to mental health facilities (also known as [[Involuntary commitment]] or [[sectioning]]), is a controversial topic. From some points of view it can impinge on personal liberty and the right to choose, and carry the risk of abuse for political, social and other reasons; from other points of view, it can potentially prevent harm to self and others, and assist some people in attaining their right to healthcare when unable to decide in their own interests.<ref name="WHORIGHTS">World Health Organization (2005) [http://www.who.int/mental_health/policy/who_rb_mnh_hr_leg_FINAL_11_07_05.pdf WHO Resource Book on Mental Health: Human rights and legislation] ISBN 924156282 (PDF)</ref>
 
All human-rights orientated mental health laws require proof of the presence of a mental disorder as defined by internationally accepted standards, but the type and severity of disorder that counts can vary in different jurisdictions. The two most often utilized grounds for involuntary admission are said to be serious likelihood of immediate or imminent danger to self or others, and the need for treatment. Applications for someone to be involuntarily admitted may usually come from a mental health practitioner, a family member, a close relative, or a guardian. Human-rights-orientated laws usually stipulate that independent medical practitioners or other accredited mental health practitioners must examine the patient separately and that there should be regular, time-bound review by an independent review body.<ref name="WHORIGHTS"/> An individual must be shown to lack the capacity to give or withhold informed consent (i.e. to understand treatment information and its implications). Proxy consent (also known as [[substituted decision-making]]) may be given to a personal representative, a family member or a legally appointed guardian, or patients may have been able to enact an [[advance directive]] as to how they wish to be treated.<ref name="WHORIGHTS"/> The right to [[supported decision-making]] may also be included in legislation.<ref>Manitoba Family Services and Housing. The Vulnerable Persons Living with a Mental Disability Act, 1996</ref> Involuntary treatment laws may be extended to those living in the community, for example [[Community Treatment Order]]s (CTOs) are used in [[New Zealand]], [[Australia]] and 38 states in the [[US]] and are being planned in the [[UK]].<ref>[http://news.independent.co.uk/uk/legal/article2137689.ece  The Big Question: Will the new mental health Bill make Britain a safer place?]</ref>
 
The World Health Organization reports that in many instances national mental health legislation takes away the rights of persons with mental disorders rather than protecting rights, and is often outdated.<ref name="WHORIGHTS"/> In 1991, the [[United Nations]] adopted the [[Principles for the Protection of Persons with Mental Illness and the Improvement of Mental Health Care]], which established minimum human rights standards of practice in the mental health field. In 2006 the UN formally agreed the [[Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities]] to protect and enhance the rights and opportunities of disabled people, including those with psychosocial disabilities<ref>[http://www.un.org/esa/socdev/enable/ ENABLE website] UN section on disability</ref>
 
The term [[insanity]], sometimes used [[Colloquialism|colloquially]] as a [[synonym]] for mental illness, is often used technically as a legal term.
 
== Perception and discrimination ==
=== Media ===
{{main|Mental disorders in art and literature}}
 
Media coverage of mental illness comprises predominantly negative depictions, for example, of incompetence, violence or criminality, with far less coverage of positive issues such as accomplishments or [[human rights]] issues.<ref>Coverdate, J., Nairn, R. & Claasen, D. (2001) [http://www.blackwell-synergy.com/doi/abs/10.1046/j.1440-1614.2002.00998.x?journalCode=anpquick Depictions of mental illness in print media: a prospective national sample] ''Australian and New Zealand Journal of Psychiatry'', 36 (5), 697–700.</ref><ref>Edney, RD. (2004) [http://www.ontario.cmha.ca/content/about_mental_illness/mass_media.asp Mass Media and Mental Illness: A Literature Review] Canadian Mental Health Association</ref><ref>Diefenbach, D.L. (1998) [http://www3.interscience.wiley.com/cgi-bin/abstract/46099/ABSTRACT?CRETRY=1&SRETRY=0 The portrayal of mental illness on prime-time television] ''Journal of Community Psychology'' Vol 25, Issue 3, Pages 289-302</ref> Such negative depictions, including in children's cartoons, are thought to contribute to [[stigma]] and negative attitudes in the public and in those with mental health problems themselves, although more sensitive or serious cinematic portrayals have increased in prevalence.<ref>Sieff, E. (2003) [http://www.ingentaconnect.com/content/routledg/cjmh/2003/00000012/00000003/art00006 Media frames of mental illnesses: The potential impact of negative frames] ''Journal of Mental Health'', Vol 12(3) pp. 259-269</ref><ref>Wahl, O.F.

=== General public ===
The general public have been found to hold a strong stereotype of dangerousness and desire for social distance from individuals described as mentally ill.<ref>Link BG, Phelan JC, Bresnahan M, Stueve A, Pescosolido BA. (1999) [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?itool=abstractplus&db=pubmed&cmd=Retrieve&dopt=abstractplus&list_uids=10474548 Public conceptions of mental illness: labels, causes, dangerousness, and social distance.] ''Am J Public Health.'' Sep;89(9):1328-33.</ref> Japan has been reported to have more negative attitudes than Australia, although stigma appears common in both countries.<ref>Griffiths KM, Nakane Y, Christensen H, Yoshioka K, Jorm AF, Nakane H. (2006) [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?db=pubmed&cmd=Retrieve&dopt=AbstractPlus&list_uids=16716231 Stigma in response to mental disorders: a comparison of Australia and Japan.] ''BMC Psychiatry.'' May 23;6:21.</ref>
 
===Violence===
The public fear of violence due to mental illness is a contentious topic. One US national survey indicated that a far higher percentage of Americans rated individuals described as displaying the characteristics of a mental disorder (for example Schizophrenia or Substance Use Disorder) as "likely to do something violent to others" compared to those described as being 'troubled'.<ref>Pescosolido BA, Monahan J, Link BG, Stueve A, Kikuzawa S. (1999) [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?db=pubmed&cmd=Retrieve&dopt=AbstractPlus&list_uids=10474550 The public's view of the competence, dangerousness, and need for legal coercion of persons with mental health problems.] ''American Journal of Public Health.'' Sep;89(9):1339-45.</ref> Research indicates, on balance, a higher than average number of violent acts by some individuals with certain diagnoses, notably antisocial or psychopathic personality disorders, but conflicting findings about specific symptoms (for example links between psychosis and violence in community settings) - but the mediating factors of such acts are most consistently found to be mainly socio-demographic and socio-economic factors such as being young, [[male]], of lower socio-economic [[status]] and, in particular, substance abuse (including [[alcohol]]).<ref name="Stuart03">Stuart, H. (2003) [http://www.pubmedcentral.nih.gov/articlerender.fcgi?artid=1525086 Violence and mental illness: an overview.] '' World Psychiatry.

May;55(5):393-401.</ref><ref name="Rogers&Pilgram05"/> Findings consistently indicate that it is many times more likely that people diagnosed with a serious mental illness living in the community will be the victim rather than the perpetrator of violence.<ref name="Stuart03"/><ref>Brekke JS, Prindle C, Bae SW, Long JD (2001).

===Employment===
[[Employment discrimination]] is reported to play a significant part in the high rate of [[unemployment]] among those with a diagnosis of mental illness<ref>Heather Stuart (2006) [http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/542517 Mental Illness and Employment Discrimination] ''Current Opinion in Psychiatry'' 19(5):522-526.</ref> Schemes to combat [[stigma]] have been prioritized by global and national psychiatric organizations, but their methods and outcomes have been criticized as counterproductive.<ref>Read, J., Haslam, N., Sayce, L., Davies, E.
