Therapeutic state

A therapeutic state refers to a government or society that prioritizes mental health, well-being, and social support as central to its policies and practices. It emphasizes creating a caring environment where mental health services are integrated into public systems, aiming to reduce suffering, promote personal growth, and foster community resilience. This approach recognizes mental health as essential to overall societal health, advocating for prevention, accessible treatment, and destigmatization, much like physical health. In essence, a therapeutic state seeks to nurture mental well-being as a fundamental component of a healthy, functioning society.
