Design in Mental Health

Synopsis

Advances in medical care and treatments mean that more people are living longer and there is an increased prevalence of people being diagnosed with two or more co-morbidities. Individuals are no longer divided into a mental health or physical health silo; there are a number of evidenced links between the two which identifies the need for integration. As a result, it’s important to consider the whole person and the impact of a physical condition on the mind, which if left untreated can exacerbate both illnesses and drive up the cost of an episode of care.
