This article presents an overview of recent literature examining the place of traditional methods of mental healthcare in the management of schizophrenia.
Patients with schizophrenia make up a large proportion of people seeking traditional methods of mental healthcare, and a majority of such users perceive traditional medicine treatment as helpful. Adherence rates to traditional treatment methods among users may be well over 80%. Nevertheless, evidence is currently too weak to inform recommendation of traditional methods as standalone treatments for schizophrenia. Collaboration between traditional medicine practitioners and biomedical mental healthcare providers is feasible and may lead to safer treatments and better outcomes for patients with schizophrenia. Many patients with schizophrenia preferentially use traditional methods of mental healthcare. A collaborative working relationship that includes training and clinical support for traditional medicine providers by biomedical providers is feasible and may help narrow the global treatment gap for schizophrenia.
本文综述了近期有关精神分裂症的传统精神保健方法的文献，探讨了这些方法在精神分裂症管理中的地位。
精神分裂症患者占寻求传统精神保健方法人群的很大比例，大多数此类使用者认为传统药物治疗有帮助。使用者对传统治疗方法的依从率可能超过 80%。然而，目前的证据还不足以支持将传统方法作为精神分裂症的独立治疗方法。传统医学从业者与生物医学精神保健提供者之间的合作是可行的，并且可能为精神分裂症患者带来更安全的治疗和更好的结果。许多精神分裂症患者更愿意使用传统的精神保健方法。建立一个包括为传统医学提供者提供培训和临床支持的合作关系是可行的，这可能有助于缩小全球精神分裂症治疗差距。
