Positive Psychiatry goes beyond traditional methods by not only treating illness but also focusing on building resilience, promoting healthy lifestyles, and enhancing well-being and happiness. The World Health Organization defines health not as an absence of a disease but a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being. Research shows that Positive Psychosocial Characteristics (PPCs) like: Resilience, Optimism, and Social Engagement are linked to better health outcomes, including longer life and improved well-being. Despite their importance, PPCs are rarely covered in psychiatric textbooks or reports, limiting psychiatry’s impact on patients' lives. It's time to integrate positive mental health into psychiatric practice, training, and research to fully address the spectrum of mental functioning.
