This article examines the relationship between poverty and mental health problems. We draw on the experience of Glasgow, our home city, which contains some of Western Europe's areas of greatest concentrated poverty and poorest health outcomes. We highlight how mental health problems are related directly to poverty, which in turn underlies wider health inequalities. We then outline implications for psychiatry.
本文探讨了贫困与心理健康问题之间的关系。我们借鉴了我们的家乡格拉斯哥的经验,该市拥有西欧一些贫困最集中、健康状况最差的地区。我们强调了心理健康问题如何与贫困直接相关,而贫困反过来又是更广泛的健康不平等现象的根源。然后,我们概述了这对精神病学的影响。
