TL;DRAbstract

Mental health workers are increasingly faced with patients who not only suffer from a severe mental illness, but also have a number of additional problems, which further complicate their treatment and management. This is especially so in urban inner city areas. Very often, the treatment of the mental illness alone is not sufficient and resources focused specifically to their needs are scarce or non-existent.
