Abstract:

The main function of public mental health (PMH) in medicine is both health promotion and disorder prevention. However, in psychiatry public health has been rather neglected, and, therefore, research is warranted. The past decade has seen a rise in (or renewed) interest in complex systems ? like biological (e.g. psychiatric), economic, social, internet, and epidemic (ebola) systems? to uncover their pervading hidden laws. In the next few years network architecture will be central in complex system research. These paradigms may encourage new promising public health programs. With this project we hope to add new findings to this important research field of complex systems in PMH promotion.
