This book unfolds the prevalence of mentally ill patients visiting traditional medicine and uncovers the associated factors before attending mental health services. Mental health is crucial for overall well-being, with mental disorders increasing the risk of physical illness. Despite stigma and mistreatment in developing countries, community support groups and cultural groups can assist. The World Health Organization estimates that 80% of Africans attend traditional healers for health reasons, with 40% to 60% having mental illness. Traditional medicine involves plant, animal, and mineral-based medicines, spiritual theories, manual techniques, and exercise.
