Unmet health-related needs associated with psychotic disorders

 

What do people living with psychotic disorders really need?

Through the NEED project, the KCE and KU Leuven reveal a broader reality: persistent fatigue, treatment side effects, and fragile life trajectories.

Stronger early intervention, better care continuity, and real support for education, work, and families can make the difference.

📌 The path forward:
– Invest in early detection
– Ensure continuity of care beyond hospitalization
– Support education, employment & caregivers
– Tackle stigma through better awareness

Because improving lives means addressing unmet needs, not just symptoms.
