The rising percentage of chronic diseases calls for more comprehensive patient treatment since they pose intricate problems beyond the scope of the conventional biomedical model. The combination of biopsychosocial and mental health techniques is being investigated in this review as a novel approach to the management of chronic illnesses. The biopsychosocial model emphasizes the necessity for a multifaceted approach to therapy by acknowledging the relationship between biological, psychological, and social aspects in the course of a disease and the well-being of its patients. Additionally, treating the psychological burden of chronic disease, enhancing patients' quality of life, and building resilience are all made possible by mental health treatments, including consciousness, psychological counseling, and psychotherapy. The assessment investigates the available data to support the efficacy of these integrated treatments, points out gaps in the body of knowledge, and discusses potential future routes for clinical research and practice. This article summarizes various viewpoints to emphasize the significance of patient-centered, tailored care in managing chronic illnesses and the potential benefits of combining biopsychosocial and mental health approaches to improve treatment results. This collaborative strategy presents a viable way to enhance the general well-being of people with chronic diseases and their physical health.
