Losing the rapture
Exiting fundamentalist groups can create great difficulties, sometimes affecting the mental health of those who leave or attempt to leave. Four examples are discussed. Edmund Gosse (1849–1928) left the Plymouth Brethren in young adulthood and wrote his book Father and Son in 1907. Jeanette Winterson (b. 1959) left the Elim Pentecostal Church in Accrington aged 16 and wrote a fictionalised autobiography and a memoir of her early life. Rebecca Stot…

Murderous violence and suicide in the name of religion

Mental illness and suicide in British South Asian adults
South Asians make up about 5% of the UK population. Their rates for mental illness and suicide have been shown by some researchers to be rather lower than that of the total UK population, using a variety of measures, and considering many psychiatric conditions. This paper reviews the literature on the extent of mental illness among British South Asian adults, and explores aspects of their service use, and their attitudes to mental illness. Some d…

The epidemiology of dementia in Africa
The influence of religion on the suicide rate
The influence of religion on the suicide rate was originally used by Durkheim to explain differences between Catholics and Protestants in the nineteenth century. In various locations today, notably Malaysia and Singapore, differences between Hindus and Muslims are very pronounced. Attitudes within the two religions to account for these differences are explored

Are we providing for ethnic diversity in accident & emergency (A&E) departments
Whilst the needs of patients from ethnic minorities were recognised in all of the units there appeared to be scope for further research and development. There is a need for providers to undertake comprehensive studies on the utilisation and health needs of ethnic minorities attending both primary care and A&E services. Only with this information can more appropriate services be provided

The Housing Decisions of Young People
The early adult years are a time when housing decisions of crucial importance are taken. Preliminary analysis of the housing careers of a sample of newly-married couples shows that despite some overlap of age, income and occupational status, owner-occupiers and council tenants develop as groups with contrasting social characteristics, partly as a response to structural factors within the housing market. A second investigation, concerning young ad…

Contraceptive experience and attitudes to motherhood of teenage mothers
Sexual experience is increasingly common among teenagers. Evidence suggests that while many teenage pregnancies are unintended, teenagers remain less than totally effective users of contraception. Among a sample of 102 teenage mothers, only two-thirds had ever used contraception, although only a quarter of the pregnancies were planned. About half of the teenagers were upset on hearing the initial news of the pregnancy; half of these had been usin…

Afro‐Caribbeans and the incidence of schizophrenia
This article focuses on the high incidence of diagnosed schizophrenia among Afro‐Caribbeans in Britain and offers a review of recent research in the area. Environmental stresses, genetic causes and misdiagnosis are among the possible explanations discussed and the point is made that a single cause is unlikely to emerge. Multiple causes, perhaps including racism, are more probable

Schizophrenia in British Afro-Caribbeans
The concept and aetiology of schizophrenia remain controversial issues. Epidemi ological studies reveal considerable variations in rates of diagnosed cases between groups. British Afro-Caribbeans show high rates. At the same time, their psychiatric experience is marked by a high level of conflict with the psychiatric services. The two debates - that surrounding the concept of schizophrenia, and that concerning the psychiatric experiences of Briti…
