Strategies for improving the mental health outcomes of individuals with psychiatric disorders

Anurag Singh

The paper investigates the impact of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) combined with medication management on mental health outcomes in adults diagnosed with psychiatric disorders. Conducted over a year at outpatient clinics in three major cities, the study randomly assigned 200 participants to either the intervention group (CBT plus medication) or standard care. Assessments using the Mental Health Inventory, Patient Health Questionnaire, Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale, and Global Assessment of Functioning scale were made at baseline, 4 and 8 weeks. Results indicated significant improvements in psychological well-being, depression severity, anxiety levels, and overall functioning in the intervention group compared to standard care, demonstrating the effectiveness of integrated CBT and medication management in treating psychiatric disorders.
