Summary
While there is great optimism for healthcare to be gained from developments in neuroscience, genetics and epigenetics, the social contexts and social approaches revealed by research, including much that we cover in this book, are also very powerful contributors to our health and recovery from ill health. As Nestler et al. say, ‘Psychiatric disorders are complex multifactorial illnesses … While genetic factors are important in the etiology of most mental disorders, the relatively high rates of discordance among identical twins … clearly indicate the importance of additional mechanisms’ (Nestler et al., 2016, p. 447).
This book focuses on social and environmental mechanisms; this chapter draws together a selection of the topics raised in Sections 1 and 2. We link facets of the social science that have come up thus far with concepts that are implicit in public physical and mental healthcare, and we summarise the concept of mental health recovery.
