“…To date methodologically rigorous research has failed to evidence the effectiveness of CBTp for treating depression in psychosis (Wykes et al, 2008). This is all the more concerning in light of Saarni et al's (2010) finding that depressive symptoms are the strongest predictors of poor quality of life in psychotic disorders. Previous research has shown that ACT can reduce levels of depression in non-psychotic populations (Zettle & Hayes, 1986;Petersen, 2007).…”

The experience of psychosis can lead to depression, anxiety and fear. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) facilitates individuals to accept difficult mental experiences and behave in ways that are consistent with personally held values. This study was a single (rater) blind pilot randomised controlled trial of ACT for emotional dysfunction following psychosis.Twenty-seven participants with psychosis were randomised to either: ten sessions of ACT plus treatment as usual (TAU) or TAU alone. The Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale, Acceptance and Action Questionnaire, Kentucky Inventory of Mindfulness Skills and Working Alliance Inventory were used. Individuals were assessed at baseline and 3 months post-baseline. The individuals randomised to receive ACT found the intervention acceptable. A significantly greater proportion of the ACT group changed from being depressed at time of entry into the study to not being depressed at followup. The ACT group showed a significantly greater increase in mindfulness skills and reduction in negative symptoms. Results indicated that individuals randomised to ACT had significantly fewer crisis contacts over the study. Changes in mindfulness skills correlated positively with changes in depression. ACT appears to offer promise in reducing negative symptoms, depression and crisis contacts in psychosis.

“…Schizophrenia and bipolar disorder are characterized by chronic, and sometimes relapsing and remitting courses that impact negatively on the premorbid functioning and quality of life of sufferers (Harding et al, 1987;Rietschel et al, 2009;Saarni et al, 2010;Latalova et al, 2011;Aloba et al, 2013). The use of medications, in conjunction with other psychosocial interventions constitutes the cornerstone in the management of these disorders (Barnes et al, 2011;Goodwin et al, 2009).…”

Pharmacotherapy is the cornerstone in the symptomatic treatment of schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, but non-adherence to the medications constitutes major obstacles to optimal outcome in their management. This study assessed the prevalence of and exclusively x-rayed medication-related factors of non-adherence among patients with these disorders in a resource-poor setting.

“…In a Finnish study with a large sample size, it is reported that schizoaffective disorder had the lowest HRQOL, followed by BD-I and schizophrenia, which showed comparable losses of HRQOL assessed with EQ-5D (16). In another study, it was found that patients with BD or schizophrenia when in remission had similarly poor HRQOL levels in all four domains of the WHOQOL-BREF (17).…”

Quality of life of people with schizophrenia, bipolar disorder and other psychotic disorders

Abstract: Depressive symptoms are the strongest predictors of poor QoL/HRQoL in psychotic disorders. Subjective loss of QoL associated with psychotic disorders may be smaller than objective loss of functioning suggests. The EQ-5D is problematic as an outcome measure in psychotic disorders.
