Mental Health: Breakdowns in Health Care Service throughout the Continuum of Patient Care and Recommendations for the Future

Abstract

This phenomonelogical work integrates the relevant literature along with a lived experience of mental
healthcare. The article considers the role of consumers as participants in healthcare services and as
contributors to the knowledge base. The article highlights the potential for phenomonelogical studies to be
beneficial to the literature, since they can be analyzed to distinguish what, if any, similar areas exist, and as
a result, what areas might be improved.
