Psychiatrie

Abstract

The development of the role of peer workers in mental health aims to give more space to patients and to enrich mental health treatment with their personal experience. New strategies have also been developed to facilitate access to work for patients suffering from mental illness as well as to improve mental health of workers, within a global movement aiming at putting forth the role of work as a mean towards social integration, which tends to be forgotten in a society aiming principally at productivity. In a more technical domain, repeated Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation offers a new tool for the treatment of resistant depression. Finally, the Swiss Society for Psychiatry and Psychotherapy (SGPP) has published recommendations for the treatment of schizophrenia which are freely available on the website of this society.
