“…Other studies for outpatients in clinics other than psychiatry or community-living people in Japan also showed similar results, which indicated that the most popular natural product among Japanese was supplements (23 to 47%) [2][3][4][5]. In comparison, many studies outside Japan reported that people used herbal therapies more than supplements [10][11][12][13][14][15]. In Japan, supplements and health foods are regarded as foods and sold in grocery shops…”

“…In psychiatry, it is necessary for health care professionals to understand the reality of patients' natural product use and users' attitude toward conventional medicine. Many psychiatric patients use natural products [10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19] and at the same time, often are prescribed medications such as antipsychotic drugs. Of the attitudes toward conventional medicine, medication adherenceis especially important for psychiatric treatment.…”

“…The use of natural products among psychiatric patients in the world vary from country to country [10-15, 17,18]. For example, the frequency of use of herbs and vitamins/minerals were found to be 4-26% and 1-16%, respectively, in the U.S., Turkey and Taiwan [10][11][12][13][14]. A similar study in the U.S. indicated that 22-58% of people who have psychiatric symptoms used biologically based therapies including herbs and vitamin therapy [16,17].…”

Aim: The aim of this study was to clarify frequencies of nonprescribed natural product use and associated sociodemographic and other characteristics among psychiatric outpatients in Japan. Methods: Using a self-report questionnaire, a cross-sectional survey was conducted of 253 outpatients aged 20 years or older at two psychiatric clinics in Tokyo, Japan. The questionnaire asked sociodemographic characteristics, the use of natural products (4 types), and medication adherence. Data were analyzed by multiple logistic regression predicting 12-month use of natural products on demographic variables. Results: A total of 241 patients responded to the survey (response rate, 95%). Statistical analysis was conducted for 189 respondents (females, 42%; average age, 47 years old). A total of 104 (55%) reported the use of any natural products: supplements/ health foods (41%), herbal tea (20%), aromatherapy (16%), and overthe-counter Kampo (Japanese herbal medicines) (8%). Significantly associated with natural product use were female (odds ratio [OR]: 4.28; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.87-9.77) and having any religion (OR: 2.91; 95% CI: 1.10-7.68). Respondents aged 65 years or older had a significantly smaller probability of using natural products (OR: .15, 95% CI: .03-.78). Among the respondents who reported carelessness with prescribed medications and stopping the drug when feeling worse, natural product users were fewer (OR: .24, 95% CI: .08-.76; OR: .11, 95% CI: .02-.69, respectively). Conclusions: Use of natural products such as supplements and Kampo was found to be common among psychiatric outpatients in Japan. Natural product users reported higher as being careful with prescribed medications.

“…There are no other studies regarding the frequency of herbal medicine use as a remedy for mental health problems in any other country. There are however previous studies that have reported the frequency of CAM including but not specifically limited to herbal medicine use and the frequency of herbal medicine use including but not specifically limited to its use as a remedy or treatment of mental health problems among people who have mental health problems in the United States (Barner, Bohman, Brown, & Richards, 2010;Bazargan et al, 2008;Bystritsky et al, 2012;Grzywacz et al, 2006;Ravven et al, 2011;Solomon & Adams, 2015;Wells, Phillips, Schachter, & McCarthy, 2010;Wu et al, 2007) and in other countries (Adams, Sibbritt, & Lui, 2012;Bahceci et al, 2013;Chong, Rajendran, & Wint, 2008;Crabb & Hunsley, 2011;Feng, Chiam, Kua, & Ng, 2010;Hsu et al, 2009;Pan, Chen, Teng, Lu, & Shen, 2005;Wahlstrom et al, 2008).

Aim The purpose of this study was to clarify the frequencies and sociodemographic and other characteristics around use of herbal medicine as a remedy for mental health problems in Japan. Methods Data from the World Mental Health Japan (WMHJ) Survey and US National Comorbidity Survey Replications (NCS-R) were analyzed. The WMHJ was conducted in 2002-2006, with 4,129 respondents. NCS-R was conducted in 2002-2003, with 9,282 respondents. The interview asked respondents about their use of several types of herbs for mental health problems. Frequencies of use of herbal medicine were compared between Japan and the U.S. Multiple logistic regression analyses were conducted to determine sociodemographic and mental health-related correlates of 12-month herbal medicine use. Relevant sampling weights were used to adjust for the sampling designs. Results The proportion for use of herbal medicines as a remedy for mental health problems in the past 12 months was lower (0.4%) in Japan than that in the U.S (3.7%). Low education in both countries (p < .05) was significantly associated with non-use of herbal medicine. Any anxiety disorder in Japan was significantly associated with herbal medicine use (p < .01), while any mental disorder categories were significantly associated in the U.S. (p < .01) Conclusion The frequency for use of herbal medicine among patients with mental health problems in the past 12 months was much lower in Japan compared to the U.S. Persons with high educational attainment and anxiety disorders used herbal medicine as a remedy for mental health problems more frequently in Japan.

“…The focus on evidence-based interventions stimulates new forms of therapy, such as strengthbased coaching, to develop outside of the public mental health system. Nevertheless, for people with mental health problems, there is an increase in the use of complementary and alternative treatments, as well as the scientific enquiries as to how and why these treatment options are utilized (Bahceci et al, 2013;Segar, 2012;Vlieger, 2007), particularly for children with ADHD (Majorek, Tüchelmann, & Heusser, 2004;Sinha & Efron, 2005).…”

Why Do Adults With ADHD Choose Strength-Based Coaching Over Public Mental Health Care? A Qualitative Case Study From the Netherlands

2016

For this qualitative case study, 23 semistructured interviews were conducted with clients of a private coaching center in the Netherlands. We explored why adults with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) prefer coaching, which is financed out-of-pocket, over public mental health care and what the perceived added value is for them. The participants highly valued the optimistic strength-based and solution-focused approach, which was contrasted with what they have experienced as a deficit and symptom-centered approach in public mental health care. Coaching was perceived as a joint venture, resulting in a more thorough understanding of how one approaches life and can be better equipped to deal with future problems. This study identified a group of adults with ADHD who feel that their needs are currently unsatisfactorily addressed in public mental health care. Future research should further explore whether this is a specific group of adults or whether these experiences are more common.
