Person Centered Psychiatry

Abstract

Bipolar disorder is a chronic, severe mental disorder with complex clinical presentations and is associated with high rates of comorbidity, disability, disease burden, and early mortality. Traditional disease-focused approach to diagnosis and care may be inadequate to meet the treatment and recovery needs for these patients. The Person-centered Medicine approach proposes the whole person in context, as the center and goal of clinical care and public health with emphasis on prevention, health restoration, and health promotion. The emerging Person-centered Integrative Diagnosis (PID) model, which implements the vision and goals of person-centered medicine, provides alternative conceptualizations of the process of diagnosis and ensuing care that renders it more suitable to address the treatment and care needs for this highly challenging clinical population.
