How Are Cutting-Edge Approaches and Established Practices Revolutionizing Mental Health Care for hospitalized patients?

Abstract

Particularly in hospitalized patients, the COVID-19 epidemic brought to increased mental health issues all around. This study thus looks at the developing mental health problems experienced by inpatients, best practices for tackling these difficulties, and creative ideas to enhance the delivery of treatment. The study of mental health systems in South America during the epidemic informs the work. The study found some alarming trends like more anxiety, worry, and dread brought on by restricted access to resources and isolation policies. Likewise, recognized as major hurdles to efficient mental health support were challenges including disrupted outpatient care, drug shortages, and poor virtual health systems. The study covers best practices like telemedicine integration, psychosocial support hotlines formation, and capacity-building for medical professionals to assist in delivering mental health treatment under demanding environments. The studies have guided various reform plans for mental health care that stress changing from hospital-centered systems to community-based models, improving legal and policy frameworks, and promoting local and worldwide cooperation. Conversely, virtual platforms and mobile health apps are offered as transforming instruments for providing mental health treatments to underprivileged groups.
