People recovering from a first episode of schizophrenia in Hue and Da Nang

               A short-term longitudinal study of schizophrenia and related disorders by ICHR researchers and QUT colleagues has been accepted for publication in the International Journal of Social Psychiatry. See the abstract HERE.

 

 

"Schizophrenia is a severe mental disorder, characterized by profound disruptions in thinking, affecting language, perception, and the sense of self.   It often includes psychotic experiences, such as hearing voices or delusions." - WHO definition of Schizophrenia

 

              We interviewed people treated for recent onset psychotic illness and their family members, then followed them up 6 months later. By the second interview, about half had no or only mild impairments in the three major life areas we examined – daily living activities, relationships and occupation. This outcome was similar to findings of other studies conducted internationally, even though community mental health services are very limited in central Vietnam. The factors found to be linked to a poor recovery were family poverty and more severe negative symptoms (e.g. problems with motivation and energy) and cognitive symptoms (e.g. impaired memory, attention and thinking). Together, the results point to the need for accessible community-based treatment, rehabilitation and support services, particularly for people living in lower income households.
