TrOn – Social factors and specific mental health issues

In this module we will examine the role of social factors in relation to mental health issues.

We will explore how society and social psychiatry has contributed towards, developed and disputed major mental health disorders such as schizophrenia, depression and substance misuse.

As psychiatrists, one of the main models we adhere to is a bio-psycho-social approach and it is therefore important to ensure that social aspects are adequately explored and covered.
