The chapter aims to explore the construct of mental health in a psychoanalytic perspective with a psychosocial approach. In particular, the chapter studies mental health by analysing traces to detect social mandate characterizing different mental health agencies. The highlighted hypothesis could be interpreted as that social mandate is a clue of local cultures about mental health, which determine fantasies about mental health issues, grounding on symbolizations shared by professionals, users, and community. The chapter introduces three clinical experiences of interventions, carried out in different contexts: a public mental health service, a public middle school, a psychoanalytic private office. All the presented experiences concern mental health field, even though they are characterized by different features in terms of subjects, methods, professionals, users, and organizations involved. The chapter explores those differences in order to focus on transversal issues.

Medical Specialities

Aspects of print, broadcast, film and ‘new media’ are related to their interactions with psychiatry. Frequent representations of mental health issues are paralleled by the adoption of psychological theories into media studies. Key areas are covered where psychiatric items diverge from other medical specialities, such as the depiction of suicide, the dominance of ‘human interest’ stories and negative representation of people with mental illness. Although the language of mental disorders is important, the power of the image needs to be examined. Media items also have implications for public mental health (children as vulnerable viewers) and the clinical practice of psychiatry that are not uniformly negative. Television has limitations and clinicians are encouraged to participate in radio and other media. Resources and practical advice for media contact are provided.

Mental health issues are alarmingly on the rise among undergraduates, which have gradually become the focus of social attention. With the emergence of some abnormal events such as more and more undergraduates’ suspension, and even suicide due to mental health issues, the social attention to undergraduates’ mental health has reached a climax. According to the questionnaire of undergraduates’ mental health issues, this paper uses keyword extraction to analyze the management and plan of undergraduates’ mental health. Based on the classical TextRank algorithm, this paper proposes an improved TextRank algorithm based on upper approximation rough data-deduction. The experimental results show that the accurate rate, recall rate, and F1 of proposed algorithm have been significantly improved, and the experimental results also demonstrate that the proposed algorithm has good performance in running time and physical memory occupation.

Death row inmate narratives, culled from online blogs, are used to explore the social determinants of mental health in the context of the stresses and deprivations of living on death row. Legal and correctional procedures that affect death row inmates are conceptualized as social determinants of mental health. These procedures include the granting or denying of stays of execution, conditions of solitary confinement during death row and the death watch, and impending dates of execution. Death row narratives offer a nuanced account of the many ways condemned prisoners must contend with their powerlessness as an essential element of life under sentence of death.

The Social

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) (2013) and the National Library of Medicine (2013), the numbers of emotional and mental health issues in children have increased significantly. The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) (2017) indicates that the prevalence of mental illness in these age groups is 20 percent. Schools are increasingly implementing social-emotional programs and curricula to address these needs. School nurse teachers provide care for many of these children and are in a position to promote positive outcomes for them. However, many school nurse teachers are not aware of the social-emotional programs and curricula programs that are available. The purpose of this program development project was to increase school nurse teachers’ awareness of the school district’s social emotional learning (SEL) initiatives. This project addressed the clinical question of whether an educational program addressing SEL increased school nurse teachers’ awareness of the SEL initiatives which had been adopted by the Warwick Public Schools. The findings of the study indicated that a presentation describing SEL increased the school nurse teachers’ awareness of the initiatives that had been adopted by the Warwick Public Schools. The implications for advanced nursing practice include education that ensures school nurses have the competencies to provide care for students and families with complex social and emotional needs. They must be able to identify students who are struggling with mental health issues and have the skills to intervene on their behalf.

Abstract Mental health issues are fast becoming one of society’s greatest health challenges with evidence of higher levels of illness and strain on psychiatric services. The reasons for this trend of increasing mental health problems across the population are complex and there is an urgent need to research and deliver effective public mental health strategies. In this perspective piece we argue that psychiatrists and public health physicians have unique knowledge and perspectives on population mental health. The development of interdisciplinary initiatives and training posts would result in clinicians with expertise to drive forward public mental health strategies. Focused and sustained advocacy and collaboration are necessary for prioritisation of public mental health on policymakers’ agendas.
