Mental Health Strategy for Scotland: 2012-2015 (published with corrections, November 2012)

The Scottish Government’s mental health strategy to 2015 sets out a range of key commitments across the full spectrum of mental health improvement, services and recovery to ensure delivery of effective, quality care and treatment for people with a mental illness, their carers and families.


Footnotes

1Terminology is important but difficult. In this document we use the term ‘mental illness’ where there is or may be a diagnosis of a particular and defined condition within a document such as The ICD-10 Classification of Mental and Behavioural Disorders published by the WHO; ‘mental disorder’ to refer to the broader category of mental illness, personality disorder and mental illness (which follows the definition in section 328 of the Mental Health (Care and Treatment) (Scotland) Act 2003 as well as substance misuse disorders); and ‘mental health problems’ to refer to the more ambiguous territory which includes those with illness, but also people who may be experiencing challenges to their psychological wellbeing, but who do not have a persisting mental illness or disorder.
