The number of Iranian immigrants in Canada has been increasing since 1979. This study is the result of a review of 111 charts of Iranian patients who were referred for psychiatric treatment between 1985 and 1988. Ninety-eight percent of them arrived in Canada after the Iranian revolution, which started in 1979, and the Iran-Iraq war of 1980. Ten percent were experiencing trauma as a result of their involvement with the revolutionary government or the war. The symptoms were in accordance with the DSM-III-R criteria for post-traumatic stress disorder. Sixty percent met the criteria for adjustment disorder with depressed or anxious mood. Six percent had been subjected to physical and psychological torture and confinement. This is the first study that looks at the prevalence of psychiatric illness among Iranians and illustrates the effect of migration and displacement in the integrity of the psychic life of this population.
自1979年以来，加拿大的伊朗移民数量一直在增加。本研究是对1985年至1988年间被转介接受精神治疗的111名伊朗患者病历进行审查的结果。其中98%的人在1979年开始的伊朗革命和1980年的两伊战争之后抵达加拿大。10%的人因参与革命政府或战争而遭受创伤。这些症状符合《精神疾病诊断与统计手册》第三版修订版中创伤后应激障碍的标准。60%的人符合伴有抑郁或焦虑情绪的适应障碍标准。6%的人遭受过身心折磨和拘禁。这是第一项研究伊朗人精神疾病患病率的研究，并说明了移民和流离失所对这一人群心理生活完整性的影响。
