    Um curso excelente pelo conteúdo, mas sobretudo pela visão global do ser humano. Uma excelente oportunidade para qualquer pessoa, independe de ter alguma condição de saúde mental ou conviver com alguém que o tenha, conhecer mais sobre o modus futuro de uma pessoa saudável (que não é alguém sem doença). Pretendo, inclusive, refazer o curso para pontos que passaram despercebidos. Um abraço e meu agradecimento aos organizadores.

    Very insightful course. I am planning on applying many of these strategies to my own life, as well as educating those in my life about strategies they can take. I am also entering a new career in the mental health field. I believe I will be using many of these strategies in my work. Overall I would highly recommend this course to anyone interested in learning more about mental health and great strategies for managing it.

    I am glad I actually took this course because not only I learned more in depth about good mental health and positive psychiatry, I was able to interact with students online with their discussion posts about week's we have learned and discuss our opinions about any subject we thought was needed to be focused on. However, the professor's videos, articles, and other resources were very helpful to understand the course.

    The course was comprehensive and insightful! Not only did I learn a lot about positive psychiatry and mental health, I also had opportunities to reflect on how they affect me, as well as my lifestyle and the various ways that I can improve my mental health. I will be using what I have learned in this course in my work as a school counsellor as I believe that this positive approach fosters wellbeing and recovery.

    I thoroughly enjoyed the course. The lectures are informative and the instructors are not only knowledgeable, but also nice to listen to; they sound empathic and non-judgmental. Additionally, the inclusion of Tina’s journey told by herself is, at the same time, enlightening, moving and motivating. Highly recommend this course to anyone interested in educating themselves and becoming better, more empathic people.

    Aprendí como influyen tus emociones a nivel psicológico, neuronal y biológico podemos realizar un cambio basado en un plan de vida que nos integre a un sistema donde el bienestar mental nos adelanta a una cultura con valores, sumado el método de estudio ha sido ameno y apasionante, los vídeos, las lecturas me han ayudado entender mucho más esta ciencia tan hermosa que es la Psicología y Psiquiatría Positiva.

    This course is interesting and has great importance as it offers a well structured understanding of mechanisms of mental distress and techniques that lead to recovery. The lectures are read by different specialists from all fields. This is excellent. It promotes the idea that a recovery and positive outcome is possible and provides examples advocating this idea. The positive approach is extremely important.

    I really enjoyed studying Positive Psychiatry and Mental Health. I'd be happy to recommend the course to anyone interested in a career or interest in mental health. The course would benefit friends, family and patients with a primary focus in understanding how to cope with the challenges of Psychiatric mental health impacts in their daily lives while earning a University level certificate.

    I think this was the best course I've ever had (including my university courses). The teachers, specialists, psychologists, psychiatrists and the people who held the courses were incredibly fascinating and interesting. The course was well-built and it kept my attention throughout. I'm really grateful for all the practices, methods and knowledge I learnt from beautiful people. Thank you so much!

    Thank you to the many representatives that took their time to produce meaningful and informative lectures on positive psychiatry and the readings they provided.

    This multifaceted course was very well put together. I liked the contrast of video teaching and reading, referring to websites that can be helpful to everyone. I liked the inclusion of spirituality in mental health -- something that is often overlooked. As a Canadian, I enjoyed hearing and reading about the Australian methods used for positive psychiatry-- they are very practical!

    This course becomes very helpful for me.I learned a lot of things about positive mental health,happiness, meaning and purpose of life.The most important thing if we don't want to help ourselves, no one will come to do it for us. The future is unpredictable but whenever the situations become worse we should be ready. Love your life by searching small happiness in every moment.

    I'd highly recommend this course. It not just covers the mental health aspects, but also provides with variety of information on lifestyle, mind and body, different psychological illnesses, positive psychology and creativity as a coping mechanism. It's an inclusive course with a whole wide range of topics in coverage, also reading material for each topic; I'm truly impressed!

    Thank you so much, I enjoyed the course and I found it helpful. I would suggest adding a session about older adults' mental health and wellbeing. In the last session of Prof. Ian Hickie AM, he spoke about late-life problems cognitive decline and dementia and how this can be preventive by early intervention. Actually more information is needed about this particular topic.

    It fuses insights from positive psychology for a strengths based approach into recovery including work, family life, spirituality, exercise, creativity and other pursuits. Very engaging videos. Very useful and new approach in Psychiatry where patients are viewed as collaborators. Recommended if you are facing or know someone facing mental health issues

Gracias a los maestros que son unos expertos en el tema de la salud mental, gracias a cada uno por su aporte. Mañana quiero recordar de esta enseñanza al atender mis pacientes. Ustedes agregaron valor a lo que ya tenía conocimiento.

    Awesome course!

    There is no only lectures: meetings with interesting persons, a lot of readings, videos, modern subjects, even 'mental healt' it is for us. Very useful in our everyday life. For me it is also good practice to my English skills especially in Psychiatry.

    I totally recommend this course!

    Really appreciate to the University of Sydney
