Cross-sectional study investigating the mental health and wellbeing of university students in Australia
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder and Cultural Issues
This chapter discusses the cross-cultural understanding of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Epidemiological studies suggest a reasonably consistent prevalence of OCD around the world.

The influence of c…

The Implications of the Diving Response in Reducing Panic Symptoms
Increased CO 2 sensitivity is common in panic disorder (PD) patients. Free divers who are known for their exceptional breathing control have lower CO 2 sensitivity due to training effects.

Healthy participants and patients with PD were subjected to four experimental conditions in a randomly assigned order. Th…

In view of the rise of racist rhetoric in Australian public life in recent years, this paper reviews psychological research on racism and prejudice as they are expressed at every level of society from government policy to the intrapersonal sphere. It draws on evidence arising from social, developmental, clinical, and community psychology. The mental health system is used as an exemplar to analyse the operation of institutionalised racism, and som…
