“…Psychological concerns including hopelessness, a sense of worthlessness and suicidal ideation have all been described in MDR-TB patients ( 65 ), suggesting chronicity equates to elevated risk. Patwal and colleagues examined rates of suicidal ideation and attempts in a meta-analysis ( 76 ). Suicide and attempted suicide were higher in a TB population than a general population, with greater likelihood in females, those being treated for TB repeatedly (MDR), and those with HIV co-infection ( 76 ).…”

Suicide and attempted suicide were higher in a TB population than a general population, with greater likelihood in females, those being treated for TB repeatedly (MDR), and those with HIV co-infection ( 76 ). Thus, health care practitioners should be mindful of psychological challenges in all MDR patients, but particularly in those with an additional burden of hearing loss.…”

ObjectiveThe impact of acquiring hearing loss might be exacerbated during adolescence, as this normal transition from childhood to adulthood is characterised by identity construction and social intensity. This study aimed to describe the lived experiences of South African adolescents with acquired hearing loss following aminoglycoside treatment for multidrug resistant tuberculosis.DesignThe study adopted a descriptive phenomenological design and in-depth, semi-structured interviews were conducted in English, isiZulu and Afrikaans. The data was managed and analysed according to a modified version of Hycner's framework.Study sampleSix participants aged 16–24 years with bilateral, mild to profound hearing loss acquired from aminoglycoside treatment were recruited from two South African provinces.ResultsThree themes emerged which created a triple burden for participants. They endured socio-economic hardship encompassing limited economic and emotional support. Participants battled the consequences of life-threatening MDR-TB including illness, hospitalisation, stigma, and other challenges. Finally, participants were left with life-changing hearing loss.ConclusionThe findings indicate the necessity of holistic management of adolescents with aminoglycoside-related acquired hearing loss and serves as motivation to improve ototoxic monitoring practices and patient uptake of monitoring services and calls for the cessation, or at least cautious use, of aminoglycosides.

“…Respiratory diseases such as TB are significantly more prevalent in people with schizophrenia compared with the general population (Suetani et al, 2021). Suicide was reported in 0.92% of TB patients at the end of 2 years, whereas 2.2% to 8.4% of all TB deaths were reported due to suicide (Patwal et al, 2023).…”

Introduction: Mental health issues are prevalent, yet their treatment remains inadequate. Tuberculosis presents substantial mental health challenges. Their co-occurrence is a frequent phenomenon. However, the integration of mental health professionals or services is not a common practice. Purpose: To review the evidence about the relation between tuberculosis and mental health, and its consequences concerning the implementation of policies and services. Methodology: We conducted a comprehensive review using the MeSH terms "Tuberculosis" and "Mental Health" on PubMed, spanning from 2011 to December 2021. We identified and assessed systematic reviews, regular reviews, scoping review and meta-analyses for their appropriateness and relevance. Results: A total of 341 studies were accessed for eligibility and 19 studies were included. Mental disorders and tuberculosis are frequent comorbidities. Their relation is commonly described as “syndemic”. Shared risk factors, social vulnerabilities, and upstream social determinants are prevalent in both conditions. There is a potential for the integration of both conditions into policy and service organization. Conclusions: Mental disorders treatment gap could be shortened by addressing mental health problems among TB patients. The WHO Global End TB Strategy prioritizes integrated patient-centered care, and fostering collaborative partnerships between tuberculosis and mental health services could enhance its implementation
