A Multidisciplinary Approach to Psychosocial Rehabilitation in Low- and Middle-Income Countries: Encouraging Mental Health Recovery

This commentary article will seek to improve the understanding of Psychosocial Rehabilitation (PR) for persons experiencing mental health problems and will also explore interpersonal recovery options for those with mental health issues including those with psychotic disorders to identify the potential factors affecting the application of Psychosocial rehabilitation (PR) in Lower Middle-Income Countries (LMICs) settings. This article discusses the moderating factors that influence PR implementation including availability of resources, negative attitudes associated with PR, staff burnout, and setting up of PR in healthcare organisations. In addition, it emphasizes clinical and non-clinical aspects of PR like programs in community setting, participation of caregivers and art therapy. The purpose is to provide recommendations on best practices that can support the further implementation of PR and recovery-centred practices in LMICs.
