“…This portrait persists even though most well-controlled studies suggest that people with mental illnesses, such as schizophrenia, do not have significantly elevated rates of violent or criminal behaviour when taking into account confounders such as substance abuse or homelessness. 17 In fact, people with a mental illness are significantly more likely than the general population to be victims of crime and violence. 18 Surveys suggest that three-quarters of Canadians read at least 1 daily newspaper each week.…”

Objectives: Much research suggests that the general public relies on the popular media as a primary source of information about mental illness. We assessed the broad content of articles relating to mental illness in major Canadian newspapers over a 6-year period. We also sought to assess if such content has changed over time. Methods:We conducted a retrospective analysis of Canadian newspaper coverage from 2005 to 2010. Research assistants used a standardized guide to code 11 263 newspaper articles that mention the terms mental health, mental illness, schizophrenia, or schizophrenic. Once the articles were coded, descriptive statistics were produced for overarching themes and time trend analyses from 2005 to 2010.Results: Danger, violence, and criminality were direct themes in 40% of newspaper articles. Treatment for a mental illness was discussed in only 19% of newspaper articles, and in only 18% was recovery or rehabilitation a significant theme. Eighty-three per cent of articles coded lacked a quotation from someone with a mental illness. We did not observe any significant changes over time from 2005 to 2010 in any domain measured. Conclusion:There is scope for more balanced, accurate, and informative coverage of mental health issues in Canada. Newspaper articles infrequently reflect the common realities of mental illness phenomenology, course, and outcome. Currently, clinicians may direct patients and family members to other resources for more comprehensive and accurate information about mental illness. Résultats : Le danger, la violence, et la criminalité étaient des thèmes directs dans 40 % des articles de journaux. Le traitement de la maladie mentale n'était discuté que dans 19 % des articles de journaux, et le rétablissement ou la réhabilitation n'étaient un thème significatif que dans 18 % des articles. Quatre-vingt-trois pour cent des articles codés ne citaient pas les paroles d'une personne souffrant de maladie mentale. Nous n'avons observé aucun changement significatif avec le temps de 2005 à 2010, dans aucun des domaines mesurés. Conclusion :Il y a place pour une couverture plus équilibrée, exacte et informative des questions de santé mentale au Canada. Les articles de journaux reflètent rarement les réalités communes de la phénoménologie, de l'évolution et des résultats de la maladie mentale. À l'heure actuelle, les cliniciens peuvent diriger les patients et les membres de la famille vers d'autres ressources pour une information plus complète et exacte sur la maladie mentale.

“…[41][42][43] They are often seen as immoral or dangerous. 44 Some authors have concluded that stigmatization inflicts greater psychological pain than the mental disorder or addiction itself 45,46 and poses a key barrier to rehabilitation. 47 Sex has also been repeatedly reported as a strong predictor of substance dependence.…”

Objective: Our study sought to identify sociodemographic, clinical, life perception, and service use characteristics that distinguish new cases of people dependent on substances from the general population; and to determine predictors of substance dependence over a 2-year period. Variables that differentiate people dependent on substances according to sex and age were also assessed. Methods:Among 2434 people who took part in an epidemiologic catchment area health survey at baseline, 2.2% were identified with substance dependence at the second measurement time only. Using a comprehensive framework, various aspects were considered as predictors for multivariate statistics.Results: Participants with substance dependence at time 2 only showed worse clinical conditions, life events, life and health perception, and neighbourhood characteristics than other participants, but only 2.5% used health care services. Male sex, younger age, stigmatization, and impulsiveness were predictors of substance dependence. Regarding sex, females with dependence were only more likely to suffer from social phobia than males. In terms of age categories, participants over 50 with substance dependence were more likely to have a lower household income and less social support than younger people. Conclusion:Stigmatization was the strongest predictor of substance dependence. Our study also confirmed that males and younger people were more likely to have substance dependence. Anti-stigmatization, prevention, and outreach programs are needed to overcome the reluctance of this clientele to use health care services. Health professionals should also pay more attention to life and health perception and neighbourhood characteristics of newly identified drug users. W W W Prédicteurs de la dépendance à l'alcool et aux droguesObjectif : Notre étude cherchait à identifier les caractéristiques sociodémographiques, cliniques, et liées à la perception de la vie comme à l'utilisation des services qui distinguent les nouveaux cas de personnes dépendantes aux substances de la population générale; et à déterminer les prédicteurs de la dépendance aux substances sur une période de 2 ans. Les variables qui différencient les personnes dépendantes aux substances selon le sexe et l'âge ont aussi été évaluées.Méthodes : Chez 2434 personnes qui ont pris part à une enquête de santé épidémiologique d'un secteur hospitalier au départ, 2,2 % ont été identifiées comme ayant une dépendance aux substances au deuxième temps de mesure seulement. À l'aide d'un cadre détaillé, divers aspects ont été étudiés en tant que prédicteurs de statistiques multivariées.Résultats : Les participants ayant une dépendance aux substances au temps 2 seulement présentaient des conditions cliniques, des événements de vie, des perceptions de la vie

“…Les résultats du programme albertain semblent prometteurs concernant les interventions qui visent des sous-populations spécifiques (ex. : étudiants à l'école secondaire) qui privilégient les contacts directs avec les personnes atteintes de schizophrénie (Stuart, 2003). En effet, une amélioration des connaissances sur la schizophrénie et des attitudes face aux personnes atteintes de cette maladie a été démontrée chez les jeunes des écoles secondaires exposés à ce programme (Stuart, 2003).…”

Le rapport à la maladie et le suicide chez les patients atteints de schizophrénie

L’objectif de cette étude était d’examiner l’influence du rapport à la maladie sur le suicide chez les personnes atteintes de schizophrénie tel qu’il est reflété par la conscience, l’acceptation de la maladie et du traitement, l’acceptation et l’implication de la famille et les événements de vie associés à la maladie. La méthode de l’autopsie psychologique a été utilisée afin de comparer un groupe de 29 patients décédés par suicide et un groupe de 33 patients non suicidaires ayant un diagnostic de schizophrénie ou de trouble schizo-affectif. Les résultats indiquent que le risque de suicide augmente chez ceux ayant un rapport négatif à leur maladie, reflété par leur refus d’accepter la maladie, les événements de vie « générés » par la maladie et la dépression. Les stratégies de prévention devraient mettre l’accent sur l’amélioration de l’acceptation de la maladie des patients et sur le dépistage et le traitement adéquats de la dépression.The goal of the study was to examine schizophrenic patients’ relationship with their illness and its influence on completed suicide. To do so, we studied the impact of awareness of illness, of illness and treatment acceptance, of the family’s acceptance and support and of illness-related events (i.e. those “generated” by the illness) on completed suicide. The study design was a case-controlled psychological autopsy study in which a group of 29 schizophrenic and schizoaffective patients who committed suicide were compared to a group of 33 living controls. The results indicate that a negative relation with one’s illness does increase suicide risk as reflected by the refusal to accept one’s illness, illness-related events and depression. Prevention strategies should focus on increasing illness acceptance and on the appropriate detection and treatment of depression
