Evidence Summaries

The topics are arranged across 4 categories. The traditional focus of The Matrix has been mental health difficulties, and this is where the primary focus will lie in the initial review. The topic summaries for mental health difficulties take a lifespan approach and follow the diagnostic categories in ICD-11. They represent some of the most common diagnoses presenting to services but are not exhaustive.*
