Geopsychiatry: The time has come for a new transdisiplinary integrative discipline

Miro Jakovljević ; School of Medicine, University of Zagreb

Sažetak

Psychiatry is an ever-changing field connected to new spirit of time, knowledge and technology, particularly in our era of artificial intelligence and psychopolitics. There is a growing recognition of the essential link between geography, culture, human rights, psychopolitics and mental health. Geopsychiatry offers a critical lens through which we can better understand and respond to global mental health challenges. Mental health or the health of mind is interconnected with the health of local place and likewise with the health of the earth. By integrating geography, ecology and mental health sciences in additive (multidisciplinary), interactive (interdisciplinary) and holistic (transdisciplinary) way the nascent field of geopsychiatry provides a special and ecological framework for understanding how the environment shapes both individual and collective mental health in the Anthropocene. The global environmental and geopolitical crisis, migrations, urban overcrowding and climate changes emphasize the need for a new paradigm that connects mental health with planetary health.
