[Personalised prevention of mental disorder]
Background:
The prevention of mental disorders is feasible, but a broader implementation requires a more precise application of available interventions to target populations.
AIM: A literature review of the different approaches where preventive measures are applied more precisely and personally.
METHOD: A narrative review of existing literature.
RESULTS: Several promising strategies to improve precision and personalisation of prevention are indeed available, but there is insufficient research to substantiate them.
CONCLUSION: Prevention of mental health disorders is possible, and there are interventions proven to be effective. In order to have an actual impact at population level, we require a mix of universal, selective and indication-based preventive measures. The universal campaigns, aimed at the entire population, would hereby create conditions enabling the other strategies, aimed at risk groups, to succeed.
