A sample from this course

One topic, as StudyPath teaches it.

Concepts of mental health and mental illness

This topic introduces the meaning of mental health and mental illness, the features of a mentally healthy person, and the major ways mental illness is understood in nursing and health care. It is important for examinations because it forms the foundation for recognising normal and abnormal behaviour, reducing stigma, and guiding safe, appropriate psychiatric nursing care.
