- W1796729127 abstract "The focus of the article is on the wholistic nature of health as only one entity of the individual's somatic and mental state or functioning. Mental ill health and somatic ill health are closely related. A dichotomous division into the health of a body and soul is of little help to a person who would just like to get out of distress, to get better or to get rid of his chronic pain or disease. In case we do not feel physically well, this will inevitably affect our mental health as well. This connection goes both ways, as mental disorders are also associated with a variety of somatic symptoms. Unfortunately, the interplay of both health dimensions to date remains to be overlooked or underestimated in scientific as well as in clinical circles. Yet, if we as professionals want to help someone who is suffering from a disease as efficiently as possible, it is necessary to look beyond the limits of the own professional speciality. Therefore, if we are dealing with health in one way or another, be it from the clinical or research perspective or in terms of planning the public health network and services, the key to efficiency is interdisciplinarity. Health care and the prevention of non-health should not be divided.The author’s aim is to talk about mental health as a part of one health only. Firstly, it is speculated that one person’s ill health might be seen as different types of ill health because of a different expertise of the expert. Secondly, a possibility for measuring a degree of an overall ill health is suggested. Accordingly, the re-evaluation of some projects aiming at the mental health improvements is suggested as their effect on somatic health and health in general may not have been taken into account. Finally, the movement from the mental health as one of the health determinants to the mental health as the main health indicator of the interplay between unpleasant life circumstances or events on one side and the quality of health care on the other is suggested. Whenever someone falls ill and seeks a professional help, his or her diagnosis is most often determined by the expert-at-hand's background rather than by the clinical picture. A therapy varies accordingly. The individual’s relative lack of optimal health is usually observed by relying on different methods and, as such, reported as different outcomes of poor health. Yet, these multiple reports are supposed to present the health status of one individual only. The interplay of the somatic and mental health on one side and the perception of poor health on the other usually remain underappreciated. Even though health can be absent in a very isolated way requiring specialized care as soon as possible, it is more often the case that health is lost in many ways or at least seen as lost from various perspectives. A comprehensive professional approach is needed in such situations. When in distress, one will only perceive a relative, short-term disequilibrium of health that remains inside the given quality of health. On the other hand, a disorder or an illness will represent a qualitative change of the health status. Both quantitative and qualitative changes in general health are indeed measurable but they should not be measured by one approach only.The re-evaluation of some projects aiming at the mental health improvements will be needed in the near future; their effect on the somatic health and health in general may not have been sufficiently taken into account to date. For example, let us imagine a group of European researchers performing a mental health related project, measuring changes in some mental health indicators after improving health services and introducing mental health promotion in a chosen area. There is a chance that some of the effects on the overall health were not noticed as they were not measured in the first place due to the underestimation of the interplay between the somatic and mental health and the perception of poor health. Or the other way around: the effect on the mental health as obtained by the somatically oriented projects has not been measured yet. The re-evaluation would be necessary not only to support a past financial decision but also to add to our knowledge the non-existence of a border between the somatic and mental health.Furthermore, it might be a good time for the public health experts to move from the mental health as one of the health determinants to the mental health as the main health indicator of the interplay between unpleasant life circumstances or events on one side and the quality of health care on the other. Life events and circumstances are known to have a considerable effect on our health in general with the mental health being the most acutely responsive and, as such, the most sensitive one. Therefore, the mental health should be developed into a most sensitive health indicator indicating some possible effects of a different quality of health care on one hand or life events and changed life circumstances on the other." @default.
