The effectiveness of cognitive behavioral therapy-based interventions for depression and anxiety in people living with HIV in low- and middle-income countries
Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) has shown promising results in improving mental health outcomes among people living with human immunodeficiency virus (PLHIV) in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), although findings remain mixed. This systematic review examined the effectiveness of CBT and CBT-based interventions in reducing depression and anxiety among PLHIV in LMICs and explored the CBT techniques used across studies. Randomized and non…
Beyond biomedical care
Pakistan faces a substantial burden of tuberculosis (TB) and comorbid depression. Although the TB control programme has made progress, it lacks personalised care for patients with both conditions. Therefore, we aim to explore the health system's readiness and challenges in effectively addressing TB-depression comorbidity. We conducted a multi-site focused ethnography in TB centres in Peshawar and Haripur, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan, involving o…
Management of postnatal depression
Postnatal depression (PND) is the most prevalent mental health disorder during the postpartum period. Evidence suggests that clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) can improve the mental well-being of women affected by PND. This study aimed to identify the CPGs available globally for the management of PND and to summarize their recommendations. A comprehensive search was performed across five electronic databases (MEDLINE, PsycINFO, CINAHL, TRIP, an…
Defining the Role of the Fire and Rescue Service in Mental Health Support for Older Adults
INTRODUCTION: Anxiety and depression in older adults (60+ years of age) are under-diagnosed and under-treated. Older adults are less likely to seek help for these problems due to a lack of awareness, difficulty accessing health care due to availability or disability and fear of loss of independence. Existing points of contact between older adults and non-traditional services, for example, the Fire and Rescue Service (FRS), could provide opportuni…
Using a person-generated mental health outcome measure in large clinical trials in Kenya and Pakistan
Health care should be informed by the physical, socioeconomic, mental, and emotional well-being of the person, and account for social circumstances and culture. Patient-generated outcome measures can contribute positively to mental health research in culturally diverse populations. In this study, we analysed qualitative responses to the Psychological Outcome Profiles (PSYCHLOPS) Questionnaire—a patient-generated outcome measure based on open-ende…
Increasing Rates of Psychiatric Publication From Low- and Middle-Income Countries
Objective: The low level of psychiatric research in low- and middle-income (LAMI) countries has been identified as a cause for concern, particularly because the extent of the unmet need for psychiatric treatment in many LAMI countries is not known. The aim of this study was to establish if the worldwide increase in research publication during the last decade included an increase in publication about mental disorders from LAMI countries. Method: W…
