Pathways to care among patients with first-episode psychosis in Asia: a systematic review
This review highlights the roles of traditional healers and family members in help-seeking, as well as the challenges posed by limited awareness, stigma, and cultural beliefs. Psychoeducation for traditional healers and family members may facilitate earlier detection and treatment. Asia-specific research may allow development of culturally sensitive approaches for early intervention services.
