Project Aims, Values, and Desired Outcomes
What will the research bring to the community?
Accurate diagnosis is the primary barrier to the successful treatment of mental
illnesses. To enhance treatment outcomes, lessen symptoms, and speed recovery, more
thorough and tailored therapy techniques are needed in light of recent discoveries, notably in
epigenetics. Numerous factors, including heredity, physiology (hormones), the physical
environment, the social environment, nutrition, and lifestyle, have been related to various
ailments in medical studies (Hirota & King, 2022). The same sickness and treatment have
varied effects on various patients. The study will thus show how non-pharmacological
modalities and procedures can be researched, explored, and applied in society as a standalone treatment or as an addition to traditional drug therapy and psychotherapy.
Benefits
Many people with a wide range of psychological issues and illnesses have
experienced much alleviation thanks to pharmacological medications. However, due to
various circumstances, including epigenetics, not all patients with the same disease respond
equally or favorably to specific drugs. Most psychiatric medications also have moderate to
severe side effects, forcing patients to stop using them. A rising amount of medical research
reveals several elements (hormonal, genetic, environmental, social, and nutritional) that
influence a person’s mental state or create or exacerbate psychiatric diseases. Rarely, a
particular mental illness’s major cause or a contributing factor may be a bad diet (Ninot,
2020). As a result, complementary therapies like acupuncture, meditation, yoga,
aromatherapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, herbal medicine, homeopathy,
phototherapy, massage therapy, spiritual healing, prayer, and therapy animals can be
extremely helpful tools and treatments for people with particular psychological disorders,

either as stand-alone monotherapies or as a powerful addition to traditional medical treatment
as multimodal therapy.
Despite being very simple to perform, the project will be very expensive because both
pharmaceutical and non-pharmacological therapy must be used simultaneously. Individual
lifestyle counseling greatly impacts weight loss, making it one of the most effective nonpharmaceutical weight loss treatments. Implementation will be straightforward because all
participants will need a trainer and a predetermined workout regimen. In contrast to dietary
treatments, they are simple to carry out because participants must follow a particular diet.
Hyperglycemia, diastolic blood pressure, and weight will decline, all of which are risk factors
for mental health (Ruiz, 2019).
The expected results and the impact
It’s possible that treating psychological problems will be challenging. The biggest
obstacle to treating mental diseases is the idea that a correct diagnosis is not necessary.
Patients’ needs could differ, calling for a more specialized approach. Therefore, it’s critical to
have a crystal-clear sign that facilities use a specific management approach. In treating some
psychiatric disorders or conditions, non-pharmacological and complementary therapies may
be beneficial adjuncts to traditional medication. It has been shown that complementary and
non-pharmacological treatments are helpful both on their own and in combination with
traditional medicine (Vancampfort et al., 2021). As a result, persons with mental disorders
experience less severe symptoms when non-pharmacological treatments like massage
therapy, spiritual healing, and meditation are applied. Therefore, non-pharmacological
therapies are probably more effective at reducing symptoms in people with mental illness
after they have attempted both pharmaceutical and non-pharmacological therapy.

Goals and objectives
Determining whether non-pharmacological therapy may be utilized to treat mental
disease is the main goal of this investigation. The best non-pharmacological and
pharmaceutical approaches to treating people with mental illness will then be contrasted with
pharmacological therapy. As a result, I will incorporate focused lifestyle treatments in my
study because they considerably lower body weight. This approach is crucial because it
improves the ability to respond to demands made specifically by the patient, provides tailored
direction and attention, and includes a unique action plan. Utilizing cognitive behavioral
therapy to treat people with mental illnesses is another crucial goal.
It is essential to assess the features of lifestyle interventions to set guidelines for
future treatment. Additionally, it will be evaluated the benefits of group sessions, including
peer support, group cohesion, interpersonal learning, imitation, and similarity discovery. A
patient-specific action plan, individualized counseling and attention, and satisfying patient
needs are all benefits of an individually assessed method. In the future, it will be clear
whether treating people with mental illness individually or in groups is preferable. Future
studies should examine whether a combined approach that includes both group sessions and a
unique action plan for each patient is the most effective.
Methods of Data Collection and variables
As the main information sources for the qualitative design of the data collection
processes, observations, questionnaires, and interviews will be used. Since it will include
experimental research to determine the effectiveness of non-pharmaceutical therapy for
patients with mental disorders, a qualitative research design is necessary (Vancampfort et al.,
2021). In an experimental study, a researcher can implement an intervention and assess its
outcomes. With this research methodology, researchers can engage with study participants

and make a difference. Random assignment, control, manipulation, and random selection are
the elements of an experimental study. In this study, participants are split into two groups: the
treatment group and the control group. As a result, the control group serves as a secondary
point of comparison while the treatment group places more emphasis on changes. The
participants in this study are divided into groups at random. While the other group receives
pharmacological therapies, one group receives non-pharmacological therapy. The results of
the patients in each group are then evaluated by the researchers to see if any differences in
results can be attributed to the treatment. The research design’s advantages are that it provides
accurate information because there is little room for error, it is the only way for researchers to
look into this subject, and the study’s findings are debatable. The downsides are the cost and
time commitment. The methodology may affect the result because there is a chance that there
will be conflicting biases.
Variables
Independent variables: An independent variable is the type of therapy patients will
receive for the symptoms of their mental disorders. Either non-pharmaceutical or
pharmaceutical treatments are given to patients.
Dependent variable: Improvements in the symptoms of the mental disease may be a
dependent variable depending on the type of treatment given.
Operationalize Variables: Adult mental illness will be assessed, and treatment
recommendations will result. This will impact the patient’s treatment plan.
Psychological testing will be done by clinical psychiatrists and researchers in order to
categorize patients according to the types of mental illnesses they have.
