“…Moreover, this effect was found to be more prevalent in women than men, and amongst those with lower self-esteem than those with greater support from family and friends. Drummond et al [25] found that only gender had a signi cant effect on the risk of mental disorders in Brazil, while the World Health Organization [26] showed that economic factors, including unemployment, poverty, income inequality and debt, as well as social factors, such as education and family problems, could cause mental illness. On the other hand, Joshi [27] found that lower house prices reduced people's wealth, thus increasing the number of self-reported mental health issues in the US.…”

BackgroundThere is a continual rise in the number of people suffered from mental disorder around the world. Several factors are believed to be connected to the development of mental disorders. Apart from health factors, mental disorders could also be caused by the economic and social factors associated with the patients. However, none of the existing literature has provided the analysis by taking into account all the possible causes together. This paper attempts to fill this gap in the literature by ascertaining the relationship between economic and social factors in relation to mental disorders.MethodsUsing the number of mental disorder cases in all 77 provinces in Thailand during the period 2015 to 2017, this paper uses either a fixed effects or a random effects model, depending on the results of the Hausman test, to analyse the effect of economic and social factors on the number of mental disorder cases in Thailand.ResultsGenerally, we found that better economic situations, as measured by higher GPP per capita, higher employment rates and lower household debt, help reduce mental disorder rates, while social factors such as greater health service accessibility and lower technology accessibility also reduce the number of mental disorder cases. However, death and divorce rates are not consistent in their effect on mental disorder rates, their impact seeming to depend on what type of mental disorder is being considered. ConclusionsWhen considering different types of disorders, we found that they could be affected by each of these factors in different ways.

A saúde mental representa parte essencial da vida das pessoas, podendo resultar no aumento da desigualdade de renda e de vulnerabilidade social. Assim, as relações entre saúde/doença mental e vulnerabilidade social incitam uma série de reflexões e de contextualizações para sua maior compreensão. Esta scoping review apresenta como objetivo mapear as produções científicas sobre as vulnerabilidades das pessoas com transtornos mentais em suas diferentes relações sociais. Divide-se em cinco etapas, com buscas nas bases de dados: MEDLINE via Pubmed; SCOPUS e Academic Search Premier, e busca nas referências dos artigos encontrados, a fim de responder à questão de pesquisa: “Como ocorre à vulnerabilidade das pessoas com transtorno mental em suas diferentes relações sociais?”. Foram encontrados 211 artigos e após as exclusões de estudos não pertinentes, foram incluídos 31 artigos. Os artigos foram organizados em 3 (três) categorias: 1 – a vulnerabilidade das pessoas com transtornos mentais e os serviços de saúde; 2 – a vulnerabilidade das pessoas com transtornos mentais e os determinantes sociais; e 3 – a vulnerabilidade das pessoas com transtornos mentais e a violência/vitimização. Dessa forma, sugere-se o desenvolvimento de mais estudos sobre a temática, assim como a reavaliação das políticas públicas voltadas às pessoas com transtornos mentais, no intuito de se tornarem mais eficazes, tanto na garantia dos direitos desse grupo como na manutenção de sua saúde mental.
