Lack of continuity of care experienced by people diagnosed with schizophrenia in South Korea

Hyunsung Oh et al.

Summary: The study explored the continuity of care (COC) experienced by people diagnosed with schizophrenia (PDS) in South Korea, highlighting the challenges faced by PDS in poor longitudinal COC and lack of communication in cross-boundary COC. Poor employment support was found to undermine recovery efforts, and the lack of COC was attributed to sociocultural contexts such as poor self-determination, lack of family support, discrimination, and prejudice. The findings emphasize the importance of multi-pronged approaches to enhance COC and effectively connect PDS, families, psychiatrists, and psychiatric rehabilitation service providers.

Stigma in bipolar disorder: A current review of the literature

Tania Perich et al.

Summary: This review assessed the impact of stigma on people living with bipolar disorder and caregivers. Public stigma was associated with functional impairment, anxiety, and poorer work-related outcomes, while self-stigma was associated with lower levels of functioning and greater depressive and anxiety symptoms. Public stigma was reported at similar rates to schizophrenia and depression in some studies, and discrimination was experienced from family, friends, and healthcare providers. More research is needed to explore the experiences of self-stigma in younger populations and its relationship with treatment adherence.
