Despite all of psychiatry's efforts to prevent mental illness and to promote recovery, some patients will develop severe and persistent mental illness (SMI). These patients represent a particularly vulnerable population, at risk of either therapeutic neglect or overly aggressive care. We propose a complementary approach in the treatment of SMI; palliative psychiatry, as a means to improve quality of care, person-centeredness, and autonomy for SMI patients.
