Article Synopsis
- There's a new project called SUCCEED Africa that wants to help people who have lived through psychosis (a serious mental health issue) by creating programs in West and Southeast Africa.
- They will test their ideas by running a small study to see how well their support system works over four months.
- The study will ask participants about their experiences and feelings to check if the support helps improve their quality of life, and it will involve both individuals with psychosis and their family members.
Background: The Global Burden of Disease attributable to psychotic disorders in African countries is high and has increased sharply in recent years. Yet, there is a scarcity of evidence on effective, appropriate and acceptable interventions for schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders on the continent.
Methods: We carried out a systematic review and narrative synthesis of peer-reviewed literature evaluating the impact of non-pharmacological interventions for adolescents and adults (10-65 years) in African countries.
