Prof. Noeline Nakasujja notes that after a 12 months assessment, it was found that Mobile mental health clinics (MMHCs) brought #mentalhealth resources to remote areas & provided adequate time for clinicians to offer psychosocial support to patients. #mentalhealthMatters
Researchers found that the #Covid_19 pandemic associated response measures e.g. #lockdowns, #curfews and social isolation worsened the state of severe #mentalillness among sufferers, with many relapsing (worsening of symptoms) due to non-adherence to drugs. #MentalHealthMatters
With approximately 14 million Ugandans (35 of every 100) battling a mental health problem such as #depression & anxiety disorders and majority having poor health seeking behavior because of stigma, Mobile #MentalHealth clinics are envisioned to reduce stigma - Experts reveal.
Mobile mental health clinics (MMHCs) are 1 way in which people with severe #mentalillness can effectively access services & treatment, the study revealed. MMHCs constituted clinicians moving with drugs & offering therapy sessions at health centers within the patients’ vicinity.
And its a wrap. #Thankyou all our stakeholders who turned up for the dissemination event on the relevance of Mobile Mental Health Clinics (MMHCs) in mitigating the care & messaging gap for people with severe mental illness. The study was funded by @NewtonFund @Sida @NRF_News
