Changes in pharmaceutical treatment
IUT
Consistent with the study protocol, pharmaceutical treatment for mental health problems remained stable during the treatment period for most participants. However, four participants in the IUT group initiated pharmaceutical treatment during the study of which three ceased pharmaceutical treatment prior to post-treatment. At post-treatment, 29 participants received pharmaceutical treatment for mental health problems. Nine of these 29 ceased pharmaceutical treatment by follow-up (three from the IUT group and six from the MCT group). Two participants in the IUT group reduced their dosage. One participant in the IUT group started pharmaceutical treatment at the follow-up assessment. Seven participants ceased all use of pharmaceuticals for mental health problems between post-treatment and follow-up; six of them were in the MCT group.
