Abstract
Recent public health data, especially those generated in countries of dramatic societal transition show that physical and mental health exists in continuous interaction. The parallelism of societal stress and figures of premature mortality even show that individual health is interrelated to public health. Therefore, efforts on health promotion have to address both individual and aggregate levels. Concrete strategies have to address the identified health determinants as existential cohesion, social significance, self-determination and integrity – differently in different stressful and potentially pathogenic individual or societal environments. Even risk populations have to be supported differently. A person centred and societally engaged psychiatry has here an important role – as a pool of expertise for impact awareness and consequence analysis provided to the decision makers in a society. A person centred individual psychiatry and an aggregated societal and community focused mental health approach of health promotion appears here to be a human right.
