The role of human involvement and support in digital mental health interventions for people with schizophrenia spectrum disorders: a critical review.

Purpose Of Review: Schizophrenia spectrum disorders (SDD) are characterized by a complex array of psychosis symptoms, and typically require ongoing and long-term support, including pharmacological and nonpharmacological management. Digital mental health interventions (DMHIs) have been suggested as a novel therapeutic approach to enable low-cost, scalable improvements in quality of care for adults living with SSD. However, the types and role of human involvement and support within DMHIs is currently unknown.

Breast cancer treatment disparities in patients with severe mental illness: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Objective: The incidence and mortality rates of breast cancer in individuals with pre-existing severe mental illness (SMI), such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and major depression, are higher than in the general population. Reduced screening is one factor but there is less information on possible barriers to subsequent treatment following diagnosis.

Methods: We undertook a systematic review and meta-analysis on access to guideline-appropriate care following a diagnosis of breast cancer in people with SMI including the receipt of surgery, endocrine, chemo- or radiotherapy.

Roles are sometimes ambiguous and location-specific.
