Distributed impact of severe mental health conditions in rural Ethiopia, a qualitative study
SMHCs have profound consequences for the person with the illness, their family members, and the community. Future interventions for SMHCs should consider household-level interventions to address economic and care needs and mitigate the intergenerational impact. The community should be considered as a resource as well as a target for intervention.
