Mental Health Knowledge Base

Welcome to this resource page dedicated to articles on mental health diagnostics and symptoms, guided by the DSM-5 and ICD-11. My aim is to provide reliable, professionally-sourced information based on the medical model of mental health diagnosis.

It's important to acknowledge that therapeutic approaches, including Gestalt Therapy, often employ a broader and more holistic perspective than the medical model. Gestalt psychotherapy focuses on long-term change, the patient's environment, and cultivating compassion alongside treatment. The psychotherapeutic approach to psychopathology differs from medical models by focusing on the mechanisms underlying symptoms. This includes exploring their manifestation, origins in childhood trauma, and identifying environmental resources that enable clients to manage their symptoms and achieve therapeutic change.

For a deeper understanding of various psychotherapeutic approaches, please visit my website: https://nikhelbig.at or explore my articles on academia.edu.
