“…These findings highlight the strong influence of joint family systems and cultural norms on mental health care utilization. Provision of family support could therefore prevent delayed identification and perceived obligation to seek help from spiritual and faith healers [ 44 , 45 ]. As previously reported, In LMICs such as Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, and Ethiopia; faith and religious healers are primary consultation resources for mental illness, especially among Muslims [ 46 – 50 ].…”

Introduction Adolescents’ Mental Healthcare (MHC) is influenced by numerous factors, and adolescents occasionally seek professional help for mental health (MH) issues. These factors become more complex within low-middle-income countries (LMICs); therefore, this study aims to understand barriers and facilitators to access mental health services among adolescents aged 10 to 19 years old from the perspective of users (parents) and providers (Mental Healthcare Providers - MHPs). Method Using a qualitative exploratory design, a semi-structured interview guide was developed using Andersen’s health service utilization model. In-depth interviews were conducted with MHPs (n = 21) and parents of adolescents (n = 19) in the psychiatry department of public and private hospitals in Karachi, from October—December 2021. Data was thematically analyzed using an inductive approach. Result The findings revealed a consensus of users and providers in all three categories of the Andersen model and referred the compulsion as the major driving force to MHC access and utilization rather than personal choices. Within pre-disposing, need, and enabling factors; the participants highlighted a unique perspective; users regarded frequent migration, daily wage loss, and women’s societal status as barriers while the need for marriage and patient willingness were stated as facilitators. Whereas, MHPs indicated societal tolerance, the burden on the health system, and the absence of Child and Adolescent Mental Health (CAMH) services as major gaps in service delivery. Conclusion Service utilization is mainly facilitated by the severity of illness rather than healthy choices and beliefs, and accessibility and affordability. It is therefore imperative to prioritize adolescent MH through promotion and prevention approaches and address service delivery gaps to prevent treatment delays via task-shifting and capacity building of the health workforce.

Diagnostic overshadowing is common in patients with intellectual disabilities (IDs). This interesting case highlights the importance of making the correct diagnosis by taking a comprehensive history and working closely with family members or carers. Delirium can be underdiagnosed in patients with ID. It is vital to take all the relevant collateral information from the families and carers about the patients. Also, the case highlights the importance of empowering relatives, family members and carers to question the diagnosis if needed.

Introduction: : Families of schizophrenia patients need to obtain information from health services about how to care for them. Limited information and understanding of responsibilities in caring are still obstacles to becoming an empowered family in caring for patients with schizophrenia. The study aimed to explore family needs regarding information from health services and family responsibilities when caring for patients with schizophrenia. Methods: This study used a descriptive qualitative design. The study involved families who cared for patients with schizophrenia in Surabaya, Indonesia. Twenty participants were obtained using purposive sampling techniques and the sample size was determined by data saturation. Data were collected using in-depth interviews, field notes and interview question guides. The data were processed with content analysis. Results: The results showed eight themes. Families need information about patient conditions, medication, routine control, and counseling for patient conditions as well as for families. The family describes the responsibilities carried out for the patient as providing support for patient treatment, fulfilling daily needs, helping with social skills, and providing activities in spare time. Conclusions: Adequate information from health services regarding both the patient's condition and family counseling can help to meet the demands of care, which stimulates families to be more empowered to carry out care responsibilities and has an impact on the ability to care better Keywords: counseling, empowerment, family, mental disorder, responsibility, schizophrenia
