| Abstrakt: | There is poor coordination between mental health professionals and traditional healers. This often leads to mismanagement of patients with various mental disorders, which can sometimes result in a fatal outcome. It is often suggested that there is a need to improve the coordination between mental health professionals and traditional healers. In this report, we present the case of a young girl whose family initially consulted a traditional healer for her condition and was then referred to appropriate mental health facilities. This coordination resulted in the timely diagnosis of autoimmune encephalitis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
