Effectiveness of the SKILLS Program in the Management of Psychiatric Disorders

Recruiting now · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Psychiatric Disorders

In brief

Epidemiological studies show that one person in eight suffers from at least one psychiatric disorder. Mental health is therefore a major public health issue, and care for these disorders must continue to be improved. The management of mental disorders has long followed the traditional categorical approach of developing a treatment for a given disorder. However, researchers have recently pointed out the limits of this approach in the field of mental health. They highlight the large number of co-morbidities, the existence of aspecific disorders and the intra-diagnostic heterogeneity of patients. These factors have led them to develop a transdiagnostic approach, which focuses on the mechanisms common to the various disorders in order to treat them at the same time and thus reduce the cost of treatment.
