“…Research conducted in Uganda shows that mental illnesses with psychotic features, such as psychotic depression, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia (Abbo, 2011; Okello & Ekblad, 2006; Okello & Musisi, 2006), and dissociative disorders, such as dissociative identity disorder and dissociative trance (van Duijl, Cardena, & de Jong, 2005; van Duijl, Kleijn, & de Jong, 2014; van Duijl, Nijenhuis, Komproe, Gernaat, & de Jong, 2010), are mostly attributed to witchcraft and a bad relationship with the ancestors. Nonpsychotic depression, on the other hand, is considered to be caused by psychosocial, financial, and biomedical problems, but not by supernatural forces (Johnson, Kajumba, Bangirana, & Kizito, 2009; Okello & Ekblad, 2006). Some authors specify what motivates the ancestral spirits to send mental illness (Okello & Musisi, 2006; van Duijl et al, 2014), but in most studies, the distinction between supernatural causes is just made at the level of witchcraft and clan issues (Abbo, 2011; Johnson et al, 2009; Okello & Ekblad, 2006).…”
