Key Concepts

Deinstitutionalization

Deinstitutionalization refers to the process of reducing reliance on large, centralized psychiatric institutions and shifting care to community-based mental health services. This transition impacts how society manages and supports individuals with mental illnesses, emphasizing less restrictive settings and increased integration into regular community life.

Psychopharmacology

Psychopharmacology is the study and use of medications to treat mental disorders. The development of new psychiatric drugs in the mid-1900s was pivotal, as these medications improved symptom management, enabling many patients to live outside of institutional settings and receive care in the community.
