Over the last century public health efforts, such as immunization,
safer food practices, public health education and promotion,
improved sanitation, and water purification have been very
successful in eradicating and controlling a host of diseases. The
result has been a dramatic improvement in health and life
expectancy. However, the impact that mental illnesses have on
individuals and society as a whole has largely been overlooked by
the discipline.This pioneering volume examines the evidence-base
for incorporating mental health into the public health agenda by
linking the available research on population mental health with
public mental health policy and practice. Issues covered in the
book include the influence of health and mental health policies on
the care and well-being of individuals with mental illness, the
interconnectedness of physical and mental disorders, the obstacles
to adopting a public health orientation to mental health/mental
illness, and the potential application of public health models of
intervention.Setting out a unique and innovative model for
integrated public mental health care, Population Mental Health
identifies the tools and strategies of public health practice
surveillance and screening, early identification, preventive
interventions, health promotion and community action and their
application to twenty-first century public mental health policy and
practice.
