“…When addressing psychiatric issues in Deaf individuals, clinicians must consider the complex, multidimensional effects of psychosocial factors, such as limited access to, and availability of, services with culturally knowledgeable and linguistically fluent service providers, 23,25,26,38 early childhood experiences, 26 complications of co-occurring physical or psychological disorders, 6,36,39 and history of trauma. 33 To compound matters, many Deaf individuals face strained parental relationships, often because of communication difficulties, social isolation, prejudice, marginalization, and sociocultural barriers.…”

“…The finding that deaf individuals have a higher frequency of physical illnesses than their hearing counterparts is supported by other literature. Deaf children have a higher prevalence of additional physical disabilities (Abrams, 2017;Dammeyer & Chapman, 2017). Research findings suggest that there is a higher proportion of neurodegenerative and neurological disorders in the deaf population compared to the general population (Crump & Hamerdinger, 2017;Fellinger, et al, 2012;Mohamed, et al, 2019).…”

Individuals who are deaf and use American Sign Language (ASL) as their primary mode of communication experience unique negative life experiences, such as lack of communication, limited access to services, marginalization, and discrimination, that can adversely impact resilience and psychological well-being. In addition, deaf individuals experience higher rates of intimate partner violence, poly-victimization, sexual, physical, and emotional abuse, and unemployment. These negative life experiences can sometimes be accompanied by maladaptive behaviors, such as substance use. Resilience and a positive sense of well-being can help to mitigate adverse life events. This survey research utilizes a sample of 206 deaf participants, whose primary language is ASL, and hearing participants to examine the relationships between negative life experiences, substance use, resilience, and well-being. Findings indicate: 1) deaf participants reported experiencing several negative life events significantly more often than their hearing counterparts, specifically being sent to jail or prison, having a serious physical illness, and sexual abuse by a partner than hearing participants; 2) deaf participants reported more experiences of having an abortion or miscarriage and parental separation or divorce as children than their hearing counterparts; 3) deaf individuals reported higher marijuana use than their hearing counterparts, but less use of stimulants, inhalants, and prescription drug abuse; 4) experiences of mental illness was significantly associated with resilience and well-being; and 5) deaf and hearing participants had similar scores in resilience and well-being. The author identifies strengths and limitations of the study and discusses implications for future research.

“…Auch heute weiß man, dass Schwerhörige weiterhin benachteiligter in ihrer sozialen Integration sind als Hörende oder Taube, welche sich mittels Gebärdensprache verständigen können. Sie leiden auch heute mehr unter Ängsten, paranoiden Gedanken und depressiven Symptomen [3,4]. Vor allem jüngere gehörlose Frauen scheinen ausgeprägter unter psychiatrischen Symptomen zu leiden als vergleichbare hörende Frauen.…”

ZusammenfassungIn der Geschichte von Psychiatrie und Otologie gibt es Belege, dass psychische und Hörerkrankungen voneinander abhängen können. So wiesen z. B. Emil Kraepelin 1915 und eine 1962 publizierte Leipziger Reihenuntersuchung darauf hin, dass hörerkrankte Menschen häufiger psychisch auffällig werden oder psychisch erkranken als hörgesunde.Wir skizzieren den Fall einer Patientin, die vor und nach der Geburt einer Tochter psychopathologische Auffälligkeiten v. a. in der Aufmerksamkeit, kognitiven Umstellungsfähigkeit und sozialen Kompetenz aufwies. Nach der Diagnose einer beidseitigen mittelgradigen Schallempfindungsschwerhörigkeit und der Versorgung mit Hörgeräten war der psychopathologische Befund unauffällig. Der Fall kann eine Erinnerung dafür sein, dass nach wie vor Hörgeschädigte aufgrund ihrer fehlenden oder eingeschränkten Kommunikationsfähigkeit in der Versorgung durch fachspezifische Grenzen fallen.
