Book excerpt: Jamais notre santé mentale n'a été l'objet d'autant d'attention par tes pouvoirs publics. Qu'il s'agisse de nous éviter d'être déprimés, anxieux, en burn-out, agressifs envers nous-mêmes ou autrui, de trop manger, trop boire, trop fumer, etc. , le dispositif de santé publique multiplie les programmes de prise en charge de notre mal-être. Mais cela ne suffit plus : mieux vaut prévenir que guérir, dit-on, et il s'agit désormais d'intervenir très en amont des problèmes que l'on imagine devoir survenir. Dès notre naissance, et même avant, par exemple en formant les futurs parents à des méthodes d'éducation permettant d'obtenir des enfants garantis sans troubles mentaux ni comportementaux... Les intentions sont bonnes. C'est évidemment pour notre bien et pour celui des autres que l'on se préoccupe de nous apprendre les bons comportements. Mais le bien qui est ainsi visé s'articule à une définition de la bonne vie, du bon humain, sur laquelle il est impératif de porter un regard critique, comme sur les moyens utilisés pour y parvenir, tant ce dispositif est susceptible d'avoir des conséquences majeures sur nos vies. C'est l'objectif que se donne cet ouvrage, qui jette le pavé d'une analyse critique, statistiquement, sociologiquement et épistémologiquement informée, dans la mare des bonnes intentions santémentalistes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cet ouvrage rassemble les contributions nécessaires pour penser les conditions qui font aujourd'hui de la santé mentale une véritable question de santé publique. Des cliniciens - psychiatres, psychologues, engagés dans une pratique de secteur ou travaillant en relation directe avec les publics en grande difficulté - des ethnologues, des sociologues, des épidémiologistes, des acteurs locaux travaillant sur ces phénomènes tels qu'ils se manifestent aujourd'hui dans les villes, et plus particulièrement sur les zones urbaines dites sensibles, apportent ici des éléments précieux de compréhension, des ouvertures pour l'action et, surtout, ouvrent un débat sur la pertinence de développer, dans un souci de prévention, des actions concertées et de proximité dans le champ de la santé mentale (non réduite à l'approche psychiatrique). Michel Joubert est sociologue (Paris).

This book was released on 2015-12-01 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Peut-on parler de guérison dans le champ de la santé mentale ou devrait-on parler de rétablissement ? L’approche de rétablissement redéfinit la notion même de guérison, tout en repositionnant le patient comme le principal acteur de sa vie et de son processus de soin. Cet ouvrage est nécessaire pour mieux comprendre les mécanismes subtils de la guérison et du rétablissement afin d’aider nos institutions de santé à prendre ce virage essentiel, tant dans le contexte de la santé mentale que celui de la santé physique. Leurs politiques sont trop axées sur l’acte curatif, la gestion du soin au sens strict plutôt que de la personne. Quelles significations attribuer à ces concepts dans un domaine où la pathologie est marquée du sceau de la chronicité et empreinte de représentations stigmatisantes ?Quelles applications concrètes l’émergence de ces concepts engendre t-elle en termes de pratique clinique et de politique de santé publique ?Quelles sont les parts respectives de l’individu, des connaissances et des institutions dans la construction de ces nouvelles normes sociales ? Les notions de guérison et de rétablissement en santé mentale sont abordées à la lumière de diverses perspectives théoriques, disciplinaires, mais aussi expérientielles, en donnant notamment la parole à des individus qui ont fait l’expérience de troubles psychiques et qui témoignent d’un retour à une vie « normale ».

This book was released on 2016-09-03 with total page 171 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Estimates indicate that as many as 1 in 4 Americans will experience a mental health problem or will misuse alcohol or drugs in their lifetimes. These disorders are among the most highly stigmatized health conditions in the United States, and they remain barriers to full participation in society in areas as basic as education, housing, and employment. Improving the lives of people with mental health and substance abuse disorders has been a priority in the United States for more than 50 years. The Community Mental Health Act of 1963 is considered a major turning point in America's efforts to improve behavioral healthcare. It ushered in an era of optimism and hope and laid the groundwork for the consumer movement and new models of recovery. The consumer movement gave voice to people with mental and substance use disorders and brought their perspectives and experience into national discussions about mental health. However over the same 50-year period, positive change in American public attitudes and beliefs about mental and substance use disorders has lagged behind these advances. Stigma is a complex social phenomenon based on a relationship between an attribute and a stereotype that assigns undesirable labels, qualities, and behaviors to a person with that attribute. Labeled individuals are then socially devalued, which leads to inequality and discrimination. This report contributes to national efforts to understand and change attitudes, beliefs and behaviors that can lead to stigma and discrimination. Changing stigma in a lasting way will require coordinated efforts, which are based on the best possible evidence, supported at the national level with multiyear funding, and planned and implemented by an effective coalition of representative stakeholders. Ending Discrimination Against People with Mental and Substance Use Disorders: The Evidence for Stigma Change explores stigma and discrimination faced by individuals with mental or substance use disorders and recommends effective strategies for reducing stigma and encouraging people to seek treatment and other supportive services. It offers a set of conclusions and recommendations about successful stigma change strategies and the research needed to inform and evaluate these efforts in the United States.
Download or read book The Health Effects of Cannabis and Cannabinoids written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2017-03-31 with total page 487 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Significant changes have taken place in the policy landscape surrounding cannabis legalization, production, and use. During the past 20 years, 25 states and the District of Columbia have legalized cannabis and/or cannabidiol (a component of cannabis) for medical conditions or retail sales at the state level and 4 states have legalized both the medical and recreational use of cannabis. These landmark changes in policy have impacted cannabis use patterns and perceived levels of risk. However, despite this changing landscape, evidence regarding the short- and long-term health effects of cannabis use remains elusive. While a myriad of studies have examined cannabis use in all its various forms, often these research conclusions are not appropriately synthesized, translated for, or communicated to policy makers, health care providers, state health officials, or other stakeholders who have been charged with influencing and enacting policies, procedures, and laws related to cannabis use. Unlike other controlled substances such as alcohol or tobacco, no accepted standards for safe use or appropriate dose are available to help guide individuals as they make choices regarding the issues of if, when, where, and how to use cannabis safely and, in regard to therapeutic uses, effectively. Shifting public sentiment, conflicting and impeded scientific research, and legislative battles have fueled the debate about what, if any, harms or benefits can be attributed to the use of cannabis or its derivatives, and this lack of aggregated knowledge has broad public health implications. The Health Effects of Cannabis and Cannabinoids provides a comprehensive review of scientific evidence related to the health effects and potential therapeutic benefits of cannabis. This report provides a research agendaâ€"outlining gaps in current knowledge and opportunities for providing additional insight into these issuesâ€"that summarizes and prioritizes pressing research needs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Clinical practice related to sleep problems and sleep disorders has been expanding rapidly in the last few years, but scientific research is not keeping pace. Sleep apnea, insomnia, and restless legs syndrome are three examples of very common disorders for which we have little biological information. This new book cuts across a variety of medical disciplines such as neurology, pulmonology, pediatrics, internal medicine, psychiatry, psychology, otolaryngology, and nursing, as well as other medical practices with an interest in the management of sleep pathology. This area of research is not limited to very young and old patientsâ€"sleep disorders reach across all ages and ethnicities. Sleep Disorders and Sleep Deprivation presents a structured analysis that explores the following: Improving awareness among the general public and health care professionals. Increasing investment in interdisciplinary somnology and sleep medicine research training and mentoring activities. Validating and developing new and existing technologies for diagnosis and treatment. This book will be of interest to those looking to learn more about the enormous public health burden of sleep disorders and sleep deprivation and the strikingly limited capacity of the health care enterprise to identify and treat the majority of individuals suffering from sleep problems.
Download or read book The Social Determinants of Mental Health written by Michael T. Compton and published by American Psychiatric Pub. This book was released on 2015-04-01 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Social Determinants of Mental Health aims to fill the gap that exists in the psychiatric, scholarly, and policy-related literature on the social determinants of mental health: those factors stemming from where we learn, play, live, work, and age that impact our overall mental health and well-being. The editors and an impressive roster of chapter authors from diverse scholarly backgrounds provide detailed information on topics such as discrimination and social exclusion; adverse early life experiences; poor education; unemployment, underemployment, and job insecurity; income inequality, poverty, and neighborhood deprivation; food insecurity; poor housing quality and housing instability; adverse features of the built environment; and poor access to mental health care. This thought-provoking book offers many beneficial features for clinicians and public health professionals: Clinical vignettes are included, designed to make the content accessible to readers who are primarily clinicians and also to demonstrate the practical, individual-level applicability of the subject matter for those who typically work at the public health, population, and/or policy level. Policy implications are discussed throughout, designed to make the content accessible to readers who work primarily at the public health or population level and also to demonstrate the policy relevance of the subject matter for those who typically work at the clinical level. All chapters include five to six key points that focus on the most important content, helping to both prepare the reader with a brief overview of the chapter's main points and reinforce the "take-away" messages afterward. In addition to the main body of the book, which focuses on selected individual social determinants of mental health, the volume includes an in-depth overview that summarizes the editors' and their colleagues' conceptualization, as well as a final chapter coauthored by Dr. David Satcher, 16th Surgeon General of the United States, that serves as a "Call to Action," offering specific actions that can be taken by both clinicians and policymakers to address the social determinants of mental health. The editors have succeeded in the difficult task of balancing the individual/clinical/patient perspective and the population/public health/community point of view, while underscoring the need for both groups to work in a unified way to address the inequities in twenty-first century America. The Social Determinants of Mental Health gives readers the tools to understand and act to improve mental health and reduce risk for mental illnesses for individuals and communities. Students preparing for the Medical College Admission Test (MCAT) will also benefit from this book, as the MCAT in 2015 will test applicants' knowledge of social determinants of health. The social determinants of mental health are not distinct from the social determinants of physical health, although they deserve special emphasis given the prevalence and burden of poor mental health.
