Introduction

Mental health nursing has evolved significantly over the past decades, recognizing the need for care that extends beyond the management of psychiatric symptoms. Holistic care in mental health nursing embraces this broader perspective by addressing the complete needs of the individual—emotional, psychological, physical, social, cultural, and spiritual. This comprehensive approach ensures that patients are not merely treated for their disorders but are supported in achieving overall well-being and personal recovery. This volume, "Holistic Care in Mental Health Nursing: Strategies and Interventions (Volume-I)," focuses on the foundational principles and evidence-based practices that guide holistic nursing care in mental health settings. It explores strategies that empower mental health nurses to provide person-centered care, foster therapeutic relationships, and integrate diverse interventions tailored to the unique needs of each patient.
