The Use of the Japanese Public Financial Support Has Positive Impact on Persistence with Outpatient Treatments for Schizophrenia: Single-center Retrospective Cohort Study in Japan.
One of the challenges of treating schizophrenia is how to improve persistence with outpatient treatments.

Readiness for Hospital Discharge of Adult Patients with Major Depressive Disorder in China: A Cross-Sectional Study.
Being ready for discharge is vital to successful hospital-to-home transitions. However, despite a wealth of evidence on its effectiveness, little is known about readiness for hospital discharge (RHD) in adult patients with major depressive disorder (MDD) and its influencing factors. In this study, we investigated the patient-reported RHD and its influencing factors among Chinese adult patients with MDD. ⋯ The RHD among participants was at a moderate level. It is strongly suggested to take the assessment of RHD as a routine process. High education level, employment and the content-received dimension of QDTS were protective factors of participants' RHD, and long-term hospitalization, the high level of depression were its risk factors.
