Mental disorder among refugees and the impact of persecution and exile: some findings from an out-patient population
- Authors:
- LAVIK Nils Johan, et al
- Journal article citation:
- British Journal of Psychiatry, 169, December 1996, pp.726-732.
- Publisher:
- Cambridge University Press
Presents the results of a study which aims to describe the type and degree of mental disorder in an out-patient population of refugees living in exile in a culturally different host country. Analyses the relationships between psychiatric symptoms and dysfunction and between socio-demographic background, type of persecution and conditions in exile. The results confirm earlier findings that refugees constitute a population at risk for mental disorder. Past traumatic stressors and current existence in exile constitute independent risk factors. However, stressors other than those discussed appear to be important also, particularly with regard to psychotic symptoms.
