Actual (reported)Longitudinal Interval Follow-up Evaluation
Longitudinal Interval Follow-up Evaluation (LIFE) is an integrated system for assessing the longitudinal course of psychiatric disorders. The assessment will consist of a semi-structured interview, during which an interviewer uses the LIFE to collect detailed psychosocial, psychopathologic, and treatment information for the follow-up interval. The weekly psychopathology measures are ordinal symptom-based scales with categories defined to match the criteria of the DSM-5.

CaPE is a manualized intervention consisting of 12 one-to-one psychoeducation sessions, one session per week. Each session will last for 60 minutes. All sessions will be delivered by a trained therapist who will receive two months training from senior therapists before starting intervention.
Treatment as usual (TAU) will be ascertained by the participant's treating physician. Research staff will record the nature and intensity of TAU delivered to each participant over a period of 3 months.
This is a culturally adapted psychoeducation program consisting of 12 sessions. Each CaPE session lasts for approximately 60 minutes, beginning with a 20-30-minute presentation on the topic of the day, followed by a related exercise (e.g., drawing a life chart or compiling a list of potential triggers for recurrence).
