The World Psychiatric Association (WPA) is dedicated to advancing mental health through evidence-based and inclusive initiatives. Its 2023-2026 Action Plan emphasizes prevention, early intervention, and comprehensive care, aligned with the United Nations 17 Sustainable Development Goals to address broader social determinants of mental health. An important focus of the Action Plan is promoting healthy lifestyles as a fundamental component of mental well-being. Through the Healthy Lifestyle Hub, the WPA promotes the benefits of physical activity, good nutrition, and sleep hygiene in preventing and managing mental health conditions. Complementing these efforts, the Specialist Corner, through dissemination of scientific advances and their clinical applications, facilitates knowledge exchange among clinicians, researchers, and policymakers, while the WHO Brief Motivational Intervention and Contact program (BIC), comprising long-erm regular follow-up of suicide attempters after hospital discharge, enhances suicide prevention. Guided by the EDIT principle-Equality across genders, ages, and ethnicities; Developmental stages from childhood to adulthood and beyond; Inclusion; and Transcultural awareness-the WPA ensures that mental health strategies are inclusive, equitable, and culturally responsive. By integrating scientific advancements with lifestyle-based interventions, the WPA Action Plan serves as a framework for global psychiatry, advocating sustainable and comprehensive approaches to mental well-being.
世界精神病学协会（WPA）致力于通过基于证据和包容的举措推动精神卫生事业发展。其《2023 - 2026年行动计划》强调预防、早期干预和全面护理，与联合国17项可持续发展目标保持一致，以应对精神卫生更广泛的社会决定因素。该行动计划的一个重要重点是促进健康的生活方式，将其作为精神健康的基本组成部分。通过健康生活方式中心，WPA宣传体育活动、良好营养和睡眠卫生在预防和管理精神卫生状况方面的益处。作为这些努力的补充，专家角通过传播科学进展及其临床应用，促进临床医生、研究人员和政策制定者之间的知识交流，而世界卫生组织简短动机干预和联系项目（BIC），包括对出院后自杀未遂者进行长期定期随访，加强了自杀预防工作。在EDIT原则的指导下——性别、年龄和种族平等；从童年到成年及以后的发展阶段；包容；以及跨文化意识——WPA确保精神卫生战略具有包容性、公平性和文化适应性。通过将科学进展与基于生活方式的干预措施相结合，WPA行动计划成为全球精神病学的一个框架，倡导采用可持续和全面的方法促进精神健康。
