Perceived occupational support for physical co-morbidities needed improvement because 40% of patients with physical co-morbidities did not receive support for physical health needs. Twenty-five per cent said that medication side effects were not discussed, and 24% lacked medication follow-up although 87% of patients found medication beneficial to their mental health. Occupational support significantly benefited overall patient satisfaction to an equivalent extent as the main treatment (i.e. receiving medication and talking therapies), and it was a more consistent predictor of patient satisfaction than talking therapies.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Improved access to schemes which reduce unemployment among NHS patients with mental illness is needed (e.g. individual placement and support programmes), although limited availability might be due to funding constraints. As well as addressing unemployment, occupational support should address other risk factors for premature mortality, for example, poverty, stigma, discrimination and social exclusion.<\/jats:p>\n
