Schizo-obsessive disorder in a South Asian context
Background The co-occurrence of schizophrenia and obsessive-compulsive disorder has attracted increasing clinical and research attention, yet it is not recognised as a distinct diagnostic entity in current psychiatric classification systems.

This case contributes re…
People with severe mental illness have low rates of screening for non-communicable diseases
People with severe mental illness (SMI) die 10-20 years earlier than the general population, largely due to non-communicable diseases (NCDs) such as hypertension and diabetes and risk factors such as hypercholesterolaemia.

Data was collected based on the WHO Stepwise approach to NCD risk factor surveillance and the prevalenc…
Identifying barriers and facilitators for health risk behaviours among people with severe mental illness in Bangladesh and Pakistan

The study aimed to explore the barriers and facilitato…

Our results emphasize the importance of access to mass and social media for the dissemination of advice and that the likely gendered uptake of both knowledge and practice requires further attention
