One Health is a collaborative, multisectoral, and transdisciplinary approach that works at local, regional, national, and global levels to achieve optimal health outcomes by recognizing the interconnection between people, animals, plants, and their shared environment. Increasingly environmental exposures from air pollution, second-hand smoke, heavy metals, pesticides, and endocrine-disrupting chemicals, have been linked to a range psychiatric and neurological diseases.
Living with a psychiatric or neurological disease can be stressful because it changes patients' lives, distressing their physical or/and mental health or threatening their survival. Nevertheless, people are able to take steps to cope with these new situations, manage their condition and maintain a good quality of life. These patients have different disease status and management requirements. One health care is a collaborative process that should be used in chronic condition management in which patients, caregivers, and healthcare providers identify and discuss problems caused by or related to the patient's condition and then develop plans and goals to empower patients. Employing One Health frameworks can provide innovative solutions to prevent and treat neurological disorders across the animal kingdom.
This Special Issue focuses on the current state of knowledge on how society in general, and health professionals in particular, can contribute to One Health care in Psychiatric and Neurological Diseases.
We invite researchers in the field to submit original research, clinical trials, study protocols, case studies, review, mini-review, hypotheses, theory, and perspectives that can further establish the current state of science on delivering one health care for people with psychiatric and neurological diseases.
All papers should look at one health care and contribute to the development of knowledge in this field.
Potential topics include, but are not limited to:
- Health status of people with psychiatric or neurological diseases;
- Ensuring access to one health care for people with psychiatric or neurological diseases;
- Pathways for one health care;
- Studies with the application of novel approaches to psychiatric and neurological diseases;
- Protecting and supporting people with psychiatric or neurological diseases through one health care;
- Benefits of an one health care approach;
- Challenges to delivering one health care.
