Abstract

[Extract] National surveys provide critical snapshots of the prevalence of mental health problems and the needs of individuals and communities adversely affected by them. The second Australian national survey of psychosis, conducted in 2010 with sites across five Australian States covering 10% of Australians in the 18–64-year-old age group, is an important case in point (Morgan et al., 2012). In addition to attaining updated prevalence data, the second survey extended upon its predecessor (Jablensky et al., 2000) by capturing an enriched picture of the lives of people diagnosed with psychosis thereby providing new emphases for achieving better outcomes. The in-depth interviews, covering clinical presentation, living circumstances, and social participation, continue to provide a source of new insights.
