Abstract in brief

  • Indigenous mental healthcare in Nigeria is rooted in cultural practices that favor spiritual and mystical approaches over biomedical methods, which has historically shaped treatment options.
  • There are concerns about human rights abuses, including torture, within these traditional treatment settings, and stigmatization also plays a significant role in limiting access to mental health services.
  • The review suggests three approaches to improve mental healthcare: maintaining traditional practices in a complementary way, using interactive psychosocial models, and fostering collaborative shared care to better address cultural and ethical issues.

There is a huge gap in mental healthcare in Nigeria, and indigenous practitioners fill the gap somewhat. Stigma is however a major challenge in Indigenous healthcare. Would a collaboration between Orthodox and indigenous practitioners. work? ✍️
