WBM Lecture: From fixing what is wrong, to building what is strong
Healthcare professionals used to focus on how mental disorders would limit someone in life, and try to fix that. Instead of fixating on the problem, a better solution could be to endeavor on what a patient still can do. There have been three major shifts in healthcare: from disease to a health/coping model, from expert based to experience based, and from focusing on medication to focusing on (social) stress and how to resolve this. This shift could lead to increased mental wellbeing, but what does that mean? Mental wellbeing does not mean being sick or cured, but a balance that needs to be searched for constantly and most important, it is most likely not just ‘being happy’.
