Psychological perspectives on mental health
Despite ageing being inevitable, the development of mental health needs at any stage in the lifespan is not. However, myths remain that as a person ages, cognitive changes occur which negatively affect intelligence, creativity and memory. While it cannot be argued that some changes take place within the brain as a person ages, it is […]

Auditory hallucinations: a ‘normal’ mental experience?
Research indicates that the presence of auditory hallucinations is higher in people diagnosed with psychosis, but that they are independently present in the so-called normal population . As a consequence, auditory hallucinations have been explored as a separate mental experience as opposed to a symptom of schizophrenia. Romme and Esher (1993) in the Netherlands have […]

User perspectives on mental disorders
Thus far, we have proposed a four-quadrant schema for understanding human experience and have described disordered human experience in terms of classification systems, incidence data and symptomatology. They objectify human experience into codified systems of description, including numbers. So, having proposed a four-quadrant integration we have subsequently planted our feet firmly in only one! Well, […]

Current mental health policy and practice is influenced significantly by the concept of SMI, the origins of which are many, but we draw attention to two predominant influences from the last decade.

The classification of mental disorder
Systems for classifying mental disorder or ‘illness’ stem from the medical model, which as Tyrer and Steinberg (1998) point out is not an aetiological model itself but an approach to diagnosing individual disorder. In a general sense all models apply this process, with exception perhaps of the social model, although the systems that are used […]

Ethnicity and mental disorder
The flow of people across continents, which is an increasingly common feature of modern life, provides a clear example of how social forces can affect a person’s mental health. Many of these people will have fled unimaginable psychological and physical pain in an attempt to find respite and asylum. This group is particularly vulnerable to […]

What is mental disorder and models of mental disorder
Experiencing ‘mental health’ or having a ‘mental illness’ may appear as two distinct, separate states of being. Such dualistic thought may also appear advantageous. The boundary it represents provides a point of exclusion beyond which we can place our fears of the unknown. ‘Madness’ becomes distinct from ‘sanity’, and for the majority, ‘madness’ is not […]

Is Suicide a Mental Disorder
Is Suicide a Mental Disorder? Only about half of those who commit suicide have an identifi ed mental health problem, the most common being depression, substance-related disorders and schizophrenia.
