This research examines the critical
gap in contemporary foreign policy frameworks regarding mental health
considerations and proposes an integrated approach called
“Psycho-Diplomacy.”
Through analysis of global mental
health data, case studies of major international crises, and examination of
current diplomatic practices, this study demonstrates that psychological
well-being represents a fundamental but overlooked factor in international
stability. The research argues that traditional foreign policy models, which
prioritize economic and military concerns while marginalizing mental health,
are inadequate for addressing modern global challenges.
The study presents evidence linking mental health infrastructure to political stability, economic productivity, and social cohesion, and proposes a framework for incorporating psychological science into diplomatic practice.
