Given the complexity of bio-psycho-social-spiritual
influences, people with mental illness should be provided with multifaceted
treatment and multi-system intervention. Mental health care teams are therefore
expected to achieve interdisciplinary collaboration (IDC) to ensure delivery of
safe, high-quality and well coordinated health care. There is increasing
evidence to suggest that IDC leads to better patient outcomes. A growing body
of research has shown that IDC is more effective than standard care in terms of
clinical outcomes such as improved quality of life and alleviated depressed
mood in people with mental disorders-with reducing healthcare costs
