Some key elements of mental health
Everyone is entitled to pursue one's happiness. We aim to centralize, here, some facilitators of this quest.
1.) Rehabilitation Clinics
Sometimes we may need a pause. Due to compulsion, anxiety, fear, cognitive dissonance, alcohol or substance abuse, stress or other issues which may have been afflicting us.
2.) Psychiatrists
The pschiatrist adresses the byology of the brain. A metaphor could be: "a football match is better played in a stadium which presents the most adequate infrastructure for it"
3.) Psychologists
The psychologist addresses the cognitive aspect of our brains. This professional addresses our reasoning, your decision processes and the way you deal with your emotions.
4.) Alternative Therapies
Health professionals who apply different types of therapeutic methods or different approaches to traditional therapy
5.) Nurses
Nurses are certified professionals who serve patients who are in recovery or who demand technical medical assistance
6.) Therapeutic Companions
Companions are technicians who are trained to assist children, teenagers or adults who demand special care or treatment
7.) Involuntary Removal
In situations in which the mental health of an individual is excessively altered, there might be a need for an involuntary removal, or rescue, of that individual
The mental health ecosystem
When someone requires mental assistance, in other words, when someone experiences mental or emotional discomfort, or is incapable of making decisions which promote their well being, jeopardizing themselves or loved ones, this person needs mental assistance provided by specialists. Depending on the level of instability, one or more professionals should assist this person.
In this portal you are able to search knowledge areas related to our mental health and can identify and contact service providers and medical institutions close to your whereabouts.
About Psinforma
Psinforma.com.br was created, built and is maintained by psychology graduate students in their 3rd and 4th semesters of the UNIP - Paulista University.
The "insight", or "idea", to build a portal which centralized mental health information emerged from class discussions in which holistic solutions were identified, providing a panoramic view of different mental issues which highlighted the need for a multidisciplinary approach in order for the best results to be obtained.
In hindsight, a multidisciplinary approach and the need of different types of professionals to address mental health issues should not be a surprise
An example which clarifies the need for different types of professionals can be as simple as telling the same story to two different persons. Even though the information provided to both is the same, each of the recipients will present different points of view regarding the message which was told.
In other words: a diversity of views and a broad range of technical expertise is key for a thorough, productive and optimal mental treatment.
The psychiatrist makes sure that the brain physical structure is working properly. The psychologist addresses the reasoning and cognitive aspects of the brain. The nurse or companion makes sure the patients comply with each needed treatment and guarantees their safety and the safety of others. The hospital or clinic provides the necessary physical infrastructure for the patient's adequate treatment and recovery.
Our mental evolution can be exponentially accelerated if we allow ourselves to be assisted by mental health professionals and insitutions.
The improvement of mental health and emotional comfort is what inspired the creation of Psinforma.com.br
