INCLUDE: Using Lived Experience to Improve Mental Health Diagnosis v1
Mental Health Issue (E.G.Depression6 moreThe focus of this study is not about what it is like to have a mental disorder, but instead the diagnostic experience. Some people find diagnoses helpful, but some find them upsetting and harmful. Research is therefore needed to improve diagnostic processes. It has been suggested that patient experiences and outcomes may be affected by the diagnostic tools used, including diagnostic criteria, labels and language. In the NHS, the tool used by doctors to help diagnose people is a guidebook called the International Classification of Diseases (ICD). A new version of this guide is due to be released in 2018. This project will use focus groups to ask people who use mental health services and diagnosing doctors in those services what they think about the labels and language in the new guide. The investigators can then suggest changes before the guide is published. The investigators hope that this research will improve mental health diagnosis. The research will take place in Norfolk and Suffolk and span eight months.
