Ecologies of Care for Serious Mental Illness in Uganda: a Scoping Review

ConclusionPWSMI are often left with low-quality choices to access care. This study suggests that, by critically analyzing community needs and complimentary programs, the livelihoods of people with serious mental illness and their caregivers can be vastly improved. Although PWSMI struggle with mental, physical, and social concerns, they are largely undervalued in the Ugandan context and isolated from society. Their pathways to recovery are wrought with frustrating encounters with peers and painful side-effects of treatment.
