Study Notes
Psychosocial Interventions for Psychosis and Bipolar Disorder
- Research examines the difficulties people with psychosis/bipolar face in their lives and the course of their illnesses.
- Potential approaches to improve prognosis and recovery are explored.
- Social participation and quality of life improvement strategies are also considered.
The Course of Psychosis/Schizophrenia
- A systematic review and meta-analysis (Lally et al., 2017) of 19,000 people found a pooled remission rate of 58% after the first episode of psychosis.
- Remission rates haven't improved significantly since 1976.
- A pooled estimate of 38% recovery was observed after an average follow-up of 7 years.
- Recovery rates are higher in the USA compared to Europe.
- Recent 21st-century studies (Huxley et al., 2021) show a more positive prognosis for first-episode psychosis than 20th-century studies.
The Course of Bipolar Disorder
- Research on Bipolar Disorder is less extensive than on Psychosis.
- Most people with Bipolar experience a relapsing-remitting course, with periods of recovery in between episodes, although approximately 15% chronically unwell.
- Data from long-term follow-up studies (e.g., 15 years, Coryell et al., 1999) suggests a 16% remission rate for 5 years or more.
- A significant portion of time (20%-44%) is spent in a depressed state when individuals are not functioning well.
- Little evidence of progress in bipolar prognosis in the past few decades is found.
A Challenge
- There is limited evidence of significant progress in mental health outcomes for severe mental health problems such as psychosis and bipolar.
- Antipsychotics and deinstitutionalisation introduced in the 1950s could have been the last significant factors impacting this issue.
- The development of physical health conditions (e.g., Cancer, CVD) has progressed significantly.
Outcomes and Implementation Gaps
- Mental health outcomes may still be better or the same in countries with less available mental health care.
- Evidence-based treatments and effective implementation in clinical practice are crucial.
- Implementation gaps exist for better interventions.
- Many years exist before wide-scale implementation.
- Issues with implementation methods/models are commonly observed in mental healthcare.
- Social determinants of mental health are significant barriers (e.g., austerity, inequalities)
Routes to Improving Outcomes
- Key improvements focus on service/treatment implementation, enhanced service systems, and focus on user recovery definitions.
- Implementing existing evidence-based interventions is crucial, along with enhancing teams and services, focusing on priorities of service users, and integrating the biopsychosocial triad into strategies.
- Early intervention for psychosis shows promising results.
- Establishing specialized teams and social interventions in psychosis and bipolar, promoting improved social quality and participation, may lead to higher standards of care.
Social Participation & Employment
- Employment rates are significantly low for those with psychosis (5-10%) and bipolar disorder (20-50%).
- Social participation and relationships among people with severe mental illness are affected by many factors and are not well studied.
- Limited evidence exists on improving social connections, relationships, and parenting among individuals with severe mental illness.
- Key limitations include ambivalence about professional roles in services, societal factors, and housing issues.
