First-episode Psychosis and Migration in Italy
Our finding of a "high functioning portrait" of FEP migrants allow us to hypothesize that a high burden of negative psychosocial factors is likely to be needed for the FEP onset. Furtherly, mental health services should implement more appropriate resources and organizational methods to respond to migrants' health needs
Mental Health Disorders and Summer Temperature-Related Mortality
Identifying the most vulnerable subjects is crucial for the effectiveness of health interventions aimed at limiting the adverse consequences of high temperatures. We conducted a case crossover study aimed at assessing whether suffering from mental health disorders modifies the effect of high temperatures on mortality. We included all deaths occurred in the area of Bologna Local Health Trust during the summers 2004-2017. Subjects with mental disor…
The contribution of cannabis use to variation in the incidence of psychotic disorder across Europe (EU-GEI)
BACKGROUND: Cannabis use is associated with increased risk of later psychotic disorder but whether it affects incidence of the disorder remains unclear. We aimed to identify patterns of cannabis use with the strongest effect on odds of psychotic disorder across Europe and explore whether differences in such patterns contribute to variations in the incidence rates of psychotic disorder. METHODS: -tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) in the different types o…
Understanding psychopathology in migrants
BACKGROUND: Literature on mental disorders in migrants is constantly increasing. Only a few studies describe psychopathological dimensions in migrants over their nosographic diagnoses; however, there is a growing literature about the greater utility of a categorical-dimensional approach, rather than a solely categorical approach, in the understanding of mental disorders. The aim of this paper is to describe the phenomenology of mental disorders i…
Migrant pathways to community mental health centres in Italy
BACKGROUND: Many studies indicate that migrants in western countries have limited access to and low utilization of community mental health centres (CMHCs) despite the high prevalence of mental disorders. AIMS: We aimed to compare migrant pathways to care across four CMHCs located in different Italian provinces and to identify pathway to care predictors. METHODS: Migrants attending the four CMHCs between 1 July 1999 and 31 December 2007 were inclu…
Course and Predictors of Physical Aggressive Behaviour after Discharge from a Psychiatric Inpatient Unit
Migrants referring to the Bologna Transcultural Psychiatric Team
Background: Recent immigrants face various difficulties in adjusting to western countries and show a high prevalence of mental disorders. Access to a culturally appropriate community mental health centre (CMHC) is crucial for immigrants (Bhui et al., 2007). The Bologna West Transcultural Psychiatric Team (BoTPT, Tarricone et al., 2009) is one of the first projects in Italy that prioritizes cultural competence care. This paper aims to evaluate the…
Psychotic Symptoms and General Health in a Socially Disadvantaged Migrant Community in Bologna
Background and aims: Social exclusion and reduced access to community health services can lead to urgent health problems among immigrants; this may explain their increasing rate of admittance to psychiatric inpatient units. This cross-sectional study aims to evaluate the prevalence of psychotic symptoms among Romanian immigrants living in very poor conditions at an abandoned hotel in Bologna and to highlight the possible correlation with general …
Clinical features and pathway to care of migrants referring to the Bologna Transcultural Psychiatric Team
A total of 182 migrants were followed-up from 1999 until 2007 by the Bologna-west Transcultural Psychiatric Team (BoTPT). Most of these patients came from North and sub-Saharan Africa (54%), were suffering from adjustment disorders and were referred by social or voluntary services, while only 16% came through general practitioners. Clinical diagnoses, psychopathology and pathways to care were closely related to socio-demographic features and ethn…
Integration between general practice and mental health services in Italy
A consultation-liaison service like the one proposed in this paper could contribute to an efficient and fully-integrated collaborative management of common psychiatric disorders, reducing the use of mental health services
