  The demand for cost-effectiveness evidence
  The rationing of access to new pharmacotherapies and psychotherapies
  The emergence of quality of life as an essential criterion in the assessment of health care interventions
  The growing awareness of the influence of stigma on shaping the long-term course of severe mental disorders
  The enhanced role of advocacy groups in providing information, advice and support to sufferers.
