Needs of people with severe mental illness.

CONCLUSION: Unmet needs are a strong predictor of less favourable health perceptions and a lower quality of life. Needs are to a certain extent changeable, and thus amenable by treatment or mental health interventions. The prevalence of (un)met needs should be an outcome criterion for the evaluation of mental health service systems and for cross-cultural comparison. PMID: 16445493 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE]
