| Abstrakt: | Background: In its most recent publications, the World Health Organization called for profound change in how mental health care is conceptualized and delivered--for a new paradigm for mental health. The new model will be non-coercive, person-centered, human rights-based, recovery-oriented, readily implementable in the community, and evidence-based and optimizable via ongoing quality studies. Methods: The author identified eight alternative models for mental health care from one or more of three sources: scientific publications, scientific journals, and/or professional associations. A narrative review was conducted in which the eight different models were reviewed and analyzed qualitatively regarding their potential to meet WHO criteria. Results: After qualitative analysis of complementary and alternative psychiatry, complementary and integrative psychiatry, energy or mind-body psychiatry, functional psychiatry, holistic psychiatry, lifestyle psychiatry, nutritional psychiatry, and orthomolecular psychiatry, lifestyle psychiatry was found to be the only model for mental health that meets all criteria recently established by the WHO. Conclusions: Lifestyle Psychiatry meets WHO criteria, and additionally, it is affordable, easy to implement, and effective, either as a standalone treatment or in tandem with the existing model of psychiatry. Lifestyle psychiatry should be widely implemented in community settings and taught in psychiatric residency training programs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
