Currently within clinical practice there is a drive to integrate physical and mental health care. With this growing focus on mental health integration physiotherapists need to be more aware about different mental health conditions they may come across and how to approach patients with mental ill-health. Physiotherapists in mental health have a primary interest in the subject and are uniquely placed to improve the physical health of such patients. As the physical expert, the physiotherapist has a key role in health promotion, disease prevention and relapse, and can make a significant donation in the delivery of lifestyle and weight management program.
