Social Inequalities and the Distribution of the Common Mental Disorders By: Tom Fryers Publisher: Psychology Press Print ISBN: 9781138871960, 1138871966 eText ISBN: 9781135424213, 1135424217 Edition: 1st Pages: 252 Copyright year: 2003 Format: EPUB Available from $ 21.58 USD SKU 9781135424213R90 Social inequalities are established features of the distribution of physical disease in the UK and many other developed countries. In most physical diseases, a clear trend of poorer health is evident with each step down the hierarchy of social position. By contrast, the nature of the links between social position and mental illness in the general population has appeared less clear. This lack of clarity is problematic, as mental disorders are major causes of disability, especially in adults of working age. Social Inequalities and the Distribution of the Common Mental Disorders presents in-depth and up-to-date research, looking at the links between social position, ethnicity and mental health. Its findings will have implications for mental health professionals and policy makers. Additional ISBNs 9781841693859, 1841693855 Download eBook Free: https://ouo.io/jWtisHO
