Untreated mental illnesses impair the social and economic lives of
affected individuals significantly. In the eyes of the public in
Uganda any individual who suffers from mental illness is not
expected to regain his/her normal senses and return to normality.
Contrary to this widely held belief, however, people have
adequately recovered from severe mental illness and regained good
productive lives after receiving proper treatment. This book has
been written to foster quality health care and a good quality of
life for the mentally ill in Uganda. The government of Uganda has
fully integrated mental health in the national minimum health care
package at all health units; with the result that every health care
provider will care for one mentally ill patient at least once a
month. The requirements of both the mental health care provider and
the general health care provider in Uganda are covered. Emilio
Ovuga is Professor of Psychiatry at Makerere University. Dr Ovuga
has experience on psychological and social effects of river
blindness, suicide and HIV/AIDS and school mental health in Uganda.
