Summary:[1] In India, a large proportion of persons with schizophrenia do not receive vocational rehabilitation services concordant with standards of good clinical practice,[2] but the course and outcome have been consistently shown to be better than in developed countries. Income generation Programs: Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MNREGA): It provides for the enhancement of livelihood security for below the poverty line households in rural areas of the country by providing at least 100 days of guaranteed wage employment (unskilled manual work) in every financial year. Other anecdotal observations about this patient group included that they had low levels of adverse effects, excellent medication adherence, less negative symptoms, good pre-morbid functioning, and relatively well-preserved personalities.
