Register for Mental Health: An Interdisciplinary Approach (SPH3402)

What is mental health and how can we improve it on the population scale?

What is a mental health ‘disorder’ and how are common mental health disorders, such as anxiety, depression and substance abuse, prevented and treated? What are the roles of individuals, communities, societies, and governments in improving mental health?

In this new course, we approach these questions from an #interdisciplinary perspective, integrating evidence from various fields to build a holistic picture of mental health as a public health issue.

Take a deep dive into the dynamic world of mental health with Assistant Professor Yvette van der Eijk and discover how it is intertwined with other public health issues such as pandemics, chronic diseases, and disease screening and treatment.
