▼ The ubiquity of mental illness and its exponential growth in the US has made it the primary “medical disability” of our time. This pervasiveness and the destructive force behind it to destroy human spirit demands an urgent attention not only from medical community, and social policy makers, but also from the church. In the history of Christian communities, mental illness has tended to be viewed as some form of malignant manifestation that stands against the will and rule of God. It has thus tended to evoke a response from within the church. Today, for the most part, that response has been delegated to the medical profession and the state. The issue of mental illness has invited many debates in the current philosophical and scientific realms. In this thesis I will present a historical analysis which outlines something of the roots of how we have come to frame mental illness in contemporary America. The twentieth century saw an astronomical rise in the popularity of the biological sciences as explanatory frameworks for everything related to human beings. Psychiatry has attempted to develop a scientific context to capitalize on that success and create a framework for how we view and name those experiences that make up the criteria “mental illness.” We will evaluate those attempts and seek to explore the challenges of modern psychiatry in normalizing human behavior based on scientific theories. The intention of this study is to determine whether the church could or should intervene in such encounters, and if so, what such an intervention might look like. Mental anguish can cripple individuals in variety of ways. Among all manifestations of distress, anxiety, fear, and mental confusion, nothing can be more destructive than what psychiatry has called “schizophrenia.” This has been the most elusive, cruel, and puzzling “mental disorder” of all times, leading to prolonged disability and inten Mental anguish can cripple individuals in variety of ways. Among all manifestations of distress, anxiety, fear, and mental confusion, nothing can be more destructive than what psychiatry has called “schizophrenia.” This has been the most elusive, cruel, and puzzling “mental disorder” of all times, leading to prolonged disability and intense personal suffering. Furthermore, it attacks the core of a person’s consciousness, sense of identity, humanity and ability to relate to others and to God. This thesis proposes a biblically based Christian framework for interpreting the phenomenon of “schizophrenia” through a theological reflection on the experience quite apart from what psychiatry may or may not have to say. It will be argued that not only is “schizophrenia” not pathological, but rather it touches on the most fundamental fragilities of the human soul—hence, it is a very critical pastoral issue. We will argue that madness ought to be recognized as a phenomenon, both theological and teleological, with a deep prophetic voice, exposing our state of sinfulness, calling the church into repentance. Given that, we will explore how the church…

▼ In recent years, there is a trend toward the integration of low-intensity psychological interventions into service provision as a way of increasing access to psychological treatments for common mental illnesses in primary health settings worldwide. In view of the structural constraints and cultural barriers of the existing mental health system, such as long waiting period for follow-up, stigma for mental illnesses, and deviation from traditional weekly in-person sessions, it is believed that low-intensity psychological interventions can be a feasible alternative to provide mental health prevention and/or treatment services to the community. This thesis presents three models of low-intensity psychological interventions, namely stepped care approach, transdiagnostic approach, and self-help approach. Stepped care model is considered as a cost effective service delivery model, which provides evidence-based psychological interventions in a hierarchy of low-intensity treatments such as self-help treatments to high-intensity treatments involving individual therapy provided by clinical psychologists, at both the individual and community levels. A meta-analytic review (Study 1) was conducted to evaluate the efficacy and cost-effectiveness of stepped care prevention and treatment for depressive and/or anxiety disorders. There is a shifting perspective away from a disorder-specific intervention approach towards a transdiagnostic intervention approach. Transdiagnostic intervention is a treatment protocol that addresses the commonalities in cognitive and behavioral factors shared across common mental disorders. The application of transdiagnostic self-help cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) on comorbid insomnia and depression was examined through a meta-analysis (Study 2) and a secondary analysis of a randomized controlled trial (Study 3). Self-help intervention is recommended as the least restrictive entry step of the stepped care model. Psychological interventions delivered by Internet and smartphone application serve to increase the access to mental health care, and potentially reduce cost and waiting time. A smartphone application “proACT-S” was developed as an alternative delivery modality. The preliminary treatment efficacy and feasibility were evaluated in an open-trial (Study 4). Results of Study 1 provisionally suggest that stepped care was effective in treating anxiety symptoms, but not preventing anxiety and depression, or treating depression, when compared with care-as-usual. In Study 2, the comparisons between self-help CBT-I and waiting-list/routine care/no treatment/ psychoeducation demonstrated significant differences in favor of the former in alleviating both depressive symptoms and insomnia symptoms. In Study 3, the results revealed that the Internet-based self-help CBT-I, especially with minimal therapist support, could help alleviate the severity of depressive and insomnia symptoms in Chinese adult population. In Study 4, the results suggest that “proACT-S” was effective in mitigating insomnia…

▼ This thesis addresses the growing number of inmates with a mental illness in correctional facilities in Canada which continues to attract public attention and concern. Several explanations have been put forward to explain the rise in the number of inmates with a mental illness. These include: the deinstitutionalization of the mentally ill that began in the 1970’s, lack of treatment availability for those released into the community, and criminalization of persons with a mental illness by the justice system. The increasing numbers of persons with a mental illness in the correctional system has led to serious concerns about the capacity of this system to manage, treat, and rehabilitate individuals with a mental illness. Lack of proper treatment, management, rehabilitation and monitored discharge means that inmates with serious mental illness are more likely to come into contact with the criminal justice system more frequently. This thesis examines the incidence seriously mentally ill offenders and their propensity to recontact. Three hundred and ninety eight face-to-face assessments were conducted using the Resident Assessment Instrument-Mental Health 2.0 (RAI-MH) and from total scores from the Level of Service Inventory Ontario Revision (LSI-OR). These assessments were conducted in 14 Ontario Provincial Correctional facilities during the years 2005-2008. Bivariate and multivariate regression analysis was conducted to assess recontact rates for serious mentally disordered and non-mentally disordered offenders. With regards to recontact, no differences were revealed between the seriously mentally ill offender and non-mentally ill offender. This null finding on recontact is very surprising given the current literature on the seriously mentally ill. An additional finding revealed that for offenders with or without a serious mental illness, having a higher score on the scale of criminogenic tendencies (LSI-OR) increased rates for recontact. Another surprising finding is that seriously mentally ill offenders were more likely to commit minor crimes upon release, rather than violent crimes as current literature suggests. A more accurate research tool, as well as a larger sample size, will be required to assess the validity of these results. The implications of the negative outcome with respect to recontact and issues of identifiable risk factors for recidivism for both seriously mentally ill and non-mentally ill inmate populations are discussed in relation to outcomes in terms of both improvements to Corrections policy and theories of criminology. It is important to continue research in this area, to determine the true gravity of the incidence and recontact rates of mentally ill offenders.

▼ The problem of readmissions of the mentally ill adults is widespread and it has continued over many years. It occurs in the people of all racial background and social economic groups.Chainama Hills Hospital in Zambia has not been spared from this phenomenon. Readmission of the mentally ill adults has been associated with adverse outcomes on the clients, their families and the readmitting institution. Unfortunately very little in terms of research has been done in Zambia on this topic. This has necessitated this study to be conducted. The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence and factors associated with readmissions of the mentally ill adults at Chainama Hills Hospital in Lusaka Zambia. A cross Sectional design study was conducted. Qualitative and Quantitative methods were used to collect date. Two hundred and thirty (230) and 0ne hundred and fifty (150) of relatives to patients(care givers) and patients respectively who were readmitted and who came for review to Chainama Hills Hospital were interviewed using a structured questionnaire. The participants were selected consecutively as they came for readmission and review. To complement data from the survey, two focus group discussions (comprising 8 participants for group 1 and 10 participants for group 2) was conducted. The sample provided 95% power of confidence and p- value of 0.05.Quantitative data was analyzed using SPSS version 17.0. The prevalence was established to be 19.72%.The study finding revealed that beer intake and bad socio-cultural practices were significantly associated with readmission of the mentally ill adults. The study further found that factors such as sex of being male, age of being more than 35years , education, employment, being single, distance of12km and more from nearest mental health facility, taking more than 2hours to reach the nearest mental health facility, diagnosis of schizophrenia, smoking, type of substance smoked, not taking drugs according to prescribed frequency and overall treatment compliance showed no association with readmission of the mentally ill adults after multivariate analysis was done. However in other similar studies these same factors were found to be statistically significance. The study findings accepts the alternative hypothesis which states that there is a relationship between demographic characteristics, lack of compliance to treatment and socio-cultural mpractices and high rates of readmissions of the mentally ill adults at Chainama Hills Hospital in Lusaka. In conclusion beer drinking and bad socio-cultural practices were associated with high rates of readmission of the mentally ill adults at Chainama Hills Hospital.It was recommended that mass education of the communities be embarked on to discourage bad social practices by communities and the patients so as to reduce relapses and rehospitalisation.

▼ Aim To describe psychiatric nursing students’ stereotypical beliefs associated with mental illness labels and the potential mediating effects of information provided from curriculum content and contact through clinical placement. Methodology Four nursing campuses were sampled, resulting in one hundred and thirty two (n=132) participants. Participants remained the same for all three phases of the repeated measure. A quantitative approach, non-experimental survey design with repeated measures made use of a self-report questionnaire. Section A included demographic data (age, gender and cultural group), while Section B consisted of a semantic differential measure (SDM) focusing on three mental illness labels; schizophrenia, major depressive disorder and bipolar mood disorder. Data was collected on the first day of the psychiatric nursing training block, the last day of the training block, and the first day of the second training block, after approximately six weeks of clinical placement in specialist psychiatric settings. Results Participant scores suggested greater negative stereotypical beliefs associated with the schizophrenia label in all the three phases of data collection. The bipolar mood disorder label was the least associated with negative stereotypical beliefs. Information given during the initial teaching block and contact during the clinical placement period resulted in a slight reduction of negative stereotypical beliefs associated with the schizophrenic label. In contrast negative stereotypical beliefs associated with the bipolar mood disorder label were increased slightly after information and contact. Conclusion and recommendation The results of the study confirmed that health care professionals are not different from the general population in their negative stereotypical beliefs towards mental illness labels. A review of the proposed new nursing curriculum should specifically include emphasis on psychosocial rehabilitation. In addition, clinical placement of the student nurses must be designed to ensure interaction with mental health care users engaged in recovery and community integration to remove perceptions of inability to recover associated with mental illness labels (Adewuya & Oguntade, 2007; Adewuya & Makanjuola, 2008; Corrigan, 2007; Smith, 2010).

▼ Background The population of seniors is increasing rapidly. Currently, seniors represent 14.1% of the population of Canada and 14.4% of the population of Newfoundland and Labrador (NL), rates that are expected to further increase to 30% by 2041 and 2026, respectively. There is ongoing debate regarding whether mental illness (MI) is more or less prevalent in seniors compared with other age cohorts and whether or not they receive needed services. The purpose of this research study was to first compare the use of acute care in-patient hospital services (Length of stay (LOS), Acute LOS, ER wait time, Rate of admission (ROA), RIW and cost) of seniors with and without MI in the province of NL and explore key predictors of service use. Method This descriptive-comparative research design using aggregate population level data from the NL Center for Health Information (NLCHI) databases included all people aged 65 years and older admitted to an acute care hospital in the province of NL (12,502) with and without MI codes in 2008-2009. Dependent variables included LOS, ALOS, ROA, ER waiting time, RIW and cost. In addition, numerous other demographics and admission and discharge information were assessed. Results Results indicated that only 10% of seniors had a MI code applied to their hospital admission however, they had a significantly longer LOS, ALOS, ROA, ER wait time, RIW and cost than did seniors without MI codes. Even after controlling for co-morbidities, seniors with MI codes still used significantly more resources. Further, while female seniors with MI were greater users of services, males were more expensive to maintain in hospital. Urban seniors most often had MI codes and consumed more hospital resources compared to seniors from rural areas. Conclusion Although the overall prevalence of MI in seniors in this study was low, their use of acute hospitals and associated costs was high and even excessive at times, compared to seniors without MI codes. Further, although acute care hospitals are the main focal point to stabilize seniors with MIs, the acute environment not only jeopardizes seniors’ mental health, but their mental and physical health as well.

▼ New Zealand has a high rate of mental disorders affecting 1 in 5 people. Current guidelines only outline building typologies and do not question the deeper affect of one’s perception of the built environment. This thesis seeks to help understand the affect of architecture on mental illness: specifically the condition of depression. In order to comprehend the relationship between architecture/space and its inhabitant, this thesis will firstly investigate how intangible elements such as colour, light; form etc. can alter the perception and experience of space. Secondly through case studies, text and drawings the thesis will examine the affect of the intangibles on the state of mental illness/depression. The negative aspect of architecture activating depression will be examined. This will assist in understanding how architecture can positively affect occupants of space with depression. Architecture and its relationship with depression will be examined to conclude whether it is a contributing factor. Architecture as therapy or as a therapeutic agent is proposed to engage aspects of the intangible. Investigation and comprehension of depression will lead to the selection of the site and a specific programme; then develop analysis to draw conclusions creating design considerations for treatment facilities. Furthermore it will translate ideas and theories from the framework into tangible physical identities. In depth critical analysis of existing precedents and understanding historical facilities is a key part of this research, building upon discovered issues. A case study design is aimed at creating architecture as therapy, which better understands the relationship of the ‘intangible’ in architecture. This thesis will propose a strategy to develop the specificity of architecture for therapy, to assist in addressing the specific treatment of severe depression in a New Zealand context, with the hope of increasing the success of therapy and rehabilitation.

▼ SLE is associated with neuropsychiatric (NP) symptoms. The roles of various genotypes and autoantibodies (Abs) in NPSLE remain unknown. Before overt central nervous system (CNS) involvement, it is important to study the psychiatric morbidity, cognitive functions, structural and functional changes in the brain in SLE patients. Two meta-analyses were performed to understand the aetiology and pathogenesis of NPSLE. The first meta-analysis identified that genetic polymorphisms in the pathways of immune complex clearance, such as the IgG Fc (Fcγ) receptor IIIa, Fcγ RIIIb and Integrin alpha M (ITGAM) genotypes were found to be susceptibility genes for NPSLE. The second meta-analysis found that NPSLE patients are more likely to have elevated serum levels of anti-cardiolipin (AcL), lupus anticoagulants (LA), anti-phospholipid (APL), anti-ribosomal P Abs and anti-neuronal Abs compared with SLE patients without NP manifestations. Clinical studies were performed on SLE patients without overt CNS involvement. A cross-sectional study comparing depression, anxiety and health status in patients suffering from SLE, rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and gout found that SLE patients were more likely to be anxious compared to RA and gout patients. Impaired mental health and a low satisfaction with life were significantly associated with anxiety in SLE patients. The relationship between illness perception, rumination and negative emotions/fatigue in patients with RA and SLE were examined. SLE patients reported higher levels of perceived chronicity of illness, rumination and anxiety compared to RA patients. Identity, causes and consequences of illness, were associated with a greater severity of negative emotions and fatigue in patients suffering from RA and SLE and mediated by ruminations. When comparing the cognitive function in SLE patients and healthy controls, SLE patients with high levels of anxiety/depression demonstrated significantly lower processing speeds and visuospatial constructional abilities compared to SLE patients with low levels of anxiety/depression and healthy controls. When performing a set-shifting task during functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), SLE patients demonstrated increased shift-related activations in the frontal and parietal areas. The shift-related deactivations in the anterior cingulate gyrus in SLE patients suggest impaired attentional network for conflict and error detection. The shift-related deactivations in the hippocampus infer that there are early damages in the hippocampus in SLE. As compared to healthy controls, structural MRI analysis revealed significant reductions in the grey matter volumes (GMV) at baseline and 16-month follow-up in the left inferior temporal gyrus, the right middle frontal gyrus, orbital part, the right superior frontal gyrus, the right rolandic operculum, the bilateral inferior frontal gyrus, orbital part and the bilateral middle cingulate cortex, as well as in the white matter volumes (WMV) at baseline and 16-month follow-up in the bilateral superior longitudinal…

▼ Mental health research suggests incarcerated adolescents display similar rates of behavioural and emotional disorders as youth in psychiatric care. Several factors appear to be related to psychological problems during adolescence, including: intellectual disability; unhealthy family environments; childhood abuse (sexual, physical and emotional abuse, and neglect); substance abuse; and poverty. In addition factors such as parental mental illness, lack of perceived support, divorce, and single-parent families have been linked to mental illness in adolescence. However, recent research indicates that a number of factors, such as personality traits, social support, and emotional intelligence, may act as mediators or protective factors against developing mental illness in adolescence. The current study examined the rate of different forms of psychological disturbance in a group of adolescents involved in the youth justice system compared to a general high school sample (N = 145). Further, the study attempted to identify the combination of emotional, intellectual, and psychosocial risk and protective factors that best predict mental health status within these groups of adolescents. The rate of psychological disturbances between the groups was examined using MANOVA and MANCOVA, with the risk and protective factors for mental illness being examined with logistic regression techniques. The MANCOVA results identified significant differences between the youth justice and high school groups across five mental illness subscales: Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, Conduct Disorder, Separation Anxiety, Substance Abuse, and Adjustment Disorder. The youth justice group was found to display significantly higher scores on these five subscales. Binary logistic regression analyses identified a pattern of intellectual, emotional and psychosocial factors that contribute to the prediction of clinically significant mental health problems for both groups of adolescents. Some of the key factors identified include neuroticism, criminal conviction history, psychoticism, stress management skills, higher general mood, and intrapersonal skills. While the results for the differences between the groups on the psychopathology subscales are consistent with previous research, the number of predictive factors that contributed to risk for mental illness were fewer than previously identified. The results of the present study will enable the development of screening tools to identify those adolescents in youth detention that are at highest risk of emerging psychological disorders. Use of a screening tool has the potential to significantly improve mental health outcomes due to such an instrument being able to indicate a need for early intervention.

▼ The present study aimed at exploring varied experiences of stigma, discrimination and human rights faced by persons with mental illness within different settings like family, health care and work setting, factors that either strengthened or nullified stigma and discrimination and to further explore the coping strategies used against experiences of stigma and discrimination. The research study was done using qualitative method. People recovering from schizophrenia and their caregivers were interviewed using interview guide that highlighted broad themes namely demographic profile of the researched, illness profile, family relations, work, social interaction, health care system and day care centre/support group and/ or counselling participation. The findings revealed experiences of stigma and discrimination faced by people with mental illness within family, both natal and marital. Gender differences in experiences of discrimination in form of violence and denial of rights were apparent due to the patriarchal societal setting. Family support and acceptance played robust role in nullifying stigma and discrimination. Furthermore, family support was determined by caregiver s sense of stigma, pre-morbid acceptance of the researched, caregivers participation in treatment process and their knowledge about the illness. Families with daughters of marriageable age sensed greater stigma which they tried to overcome by assuming a proactive role in treatment initiation and adherence. Findings also indicated that siblings who were yet to accomplish their personal and professional life goals sensed greater stigma thereby distancing themselves from the researched. Findings also indicated researched s experiences of discrimination and rights violation within workplace setting in form of removal from job, denial of promotion and non assignment of responsible tasks on ground of mental illness. Counsellors and support groups played a significant role in vocational rehabilitation of the researched thereby suggesting the potential role of support groups and counsellors in nullifying stigma and discrimination in the external environment. Stigma and discrimination was faced within health care setting in form of poor or absence of communication about illness, and coercive treatment during hospitalization. Irrespective of nature of health care setting, researched experienced rude treatment from hospital staff in form of isolation, being tied up when they were violent during their hospital stay. Researched who had access to counselling and/or associated themselves with day care centre or support groups were immensely helped in the process of recovery. Findings also suggested researched s acceptance of rude and harsh behaviour during treatment process due to helplessness of their condition and poor awareness about their rights. With regard to coping strategies, study revealed limited strategies of researched to cope against discrimination within family setting. Dependence on the perpetrator of violence and unemployment were two factors associated… Advisors/Committee Members: Nadkrani, Vimla V.

D.Phil. (Social Work)

The research question answered in this thesis is: What is the place (role, attitude, aim) of medical social work as a component in the treatment of mental illness in a general hospital? Since the medical staff at a general hospital are primarily concerned with the treatment of physical illness, it is expected that the place and role of the medical social worker, as well as the mentally ill patient, create problems with role-functioning in this primary medical setting. In a general hospital, where life and death are vital issues, the doctor plays a major role in the treatment process and social workers and other persons, in ancilliary professions are expected to render a subordinate and secondary service. The patient's problems with role-functioning occur prior to admittance, during hospitalization and after discharge. In the process of becoming a patient the difference between the medical and psychiatric sick role is accentuated. Problems after discharge include unemployment and the fulfilment of roles such as marriage partner, roommate, neighbour, colleague and employer as determined by the social distance scale. Legislation, especially the Health Act (Act 63 of 1977) and the Mental Health Act (Act 18 of 1973) has made provision for psychiatric services to be incorporated in the general health services of the RSA and for the mentally ill to be treated in general hospitals. Despite the community-oriented approach, stigma is still attached to mental illness and the general public remains relatively ignorant regarding mental illness. One way of researching the influence of stigmatic labels in determining reactions to persons who are mentally ill is to investigate the attitudes of various sections of the community, including professionals in the health field. Attitudes towards mentally and public perception of the signs and symptoms of mental illness have for several years been the subject of considerable concern and research. The empirical data used in this study was obtained from collating the views of staff members attached to four training hospitals in South Africa. The investigation covered their knowledge of and attitude towards mental illness and the mentally ill patient. It al so determined whether respondents showed prejudice towards the treatment of the mentally ill patients in general hospitals. An analysis of the empirical data according to occupation indicates that professionals qualified in the human sciences comprise the smallest component of the personnel structure in hospitals. Compared to other personnel this group shows a more favourable attitude towards treatment of mentally ill patients in general hospitals and the acceptance and employment of mentally ill persons in the community. Although medical social work quantitatively form the smaller component in the treatment of mental illness in a general hospital it has a significant contribution to make with regard to the following aspects of social work service delivery: humanising the hospital system and the home environment of…

▼ There are many factors that have been said to play a part in the cause of mental disorders. However mental illness in Zambia is largely influenced by socio-cultural factors (Msoni, 1990).Mental Health Services in Zambia were established twenty six years ago but to date, only 20% of the estimated population suffering from mental disorders has been covered. Understanding the disease, identification, treatment and rehabilitation of those affected by mental disorders and many more. The available records indicate that m.ore people seek psychiatric treatment nowadays than before. In 1962 when the hospital opened only 281 cases were recorded. Over the years more people sought psychiatric treatm.ent and the numbers increased as follows; 1986 fourteen thousand, 1987 eighteen thousand, 1989 eighty two thousand and in 1990 one hundred and eighteen thousand people were treated for various disorders (Annual Mental Health Report).Frequently, patients who had been previously discharged end up being re-admitted presenting different symptoms from, the previous admission or having similar manifestations but in a deteriorated state. For instance in 1990 total annual admissions v/ere 118,457 of which only 29,485 were new cases but the rest were re- admissions. The figures show; that the number of people seeking treatment for the first time is less than that of those who had been previously treated. On the basis of the above, it is fair to assume that proper rehabilitation is lacking within the community v/here patients live after discharge. The study is an attempt to establish whether socio¬economic factors have an effect on the relapse of the mentally ill. This study is also intended to enlighten those who may not understand the problems of mental disorders. The study is confined to Chainama Hills Hospital and the compounds of Lusaka urban district due to limited resources. It is an exploratory survey with a sampling frame comprising 40 male and female patients in the ratios of 25 to 15 respectively who have been admitted to Chainama Hills Hospital more than six times within the past four years. 40 relatives of patients and 20 professionals added up to make 100 respondents. A simple random, sampling technique was used so that every respondent had an equal opportunity of being chosen. The data v/as collected by personal interviews using a question guide and also by use of a structured questionnaire to the professionals. Data analysis included the use of percentages, frequency tables and cross-tabulations.The findings of the study reveal close association between socio-economic factors and frequent relapses of the mentally ill. In terms of incidence, the findings reveal that 37.5% of the total sam.ple were between 15-35 years while those between 35 to 40 and above years accounted for only 12.5%. This indicates that generally it is the youth that experience more problems of mental disorders. Secondly, this is due to the fact that 80% of the Zambian population is dominated by the youth. To a large extent the findings have shown that…

▼ In the wake of other minorities winning their civil rights mid-century, in the 1970s and 1980s the ACLU, fiscal conservatives, civil libertarians and other groups turned to increasing the liberties of people with mental illness. In the 1970s two significant rhetorical obstacles needed to be overcome by civil rights advocates in order to counter the authority of physicians treating mental patients: people with mental illness needed to be constituted as a single and united group, despite the variety and severity of illnesses represented, and they needed to be given the tools to speak to the broader public about their needs. Later, as people with mental illness became a visible contingent of the long-term homeless, another complication to their agency arose: that of the role of the physical body. In the first chapter of this thesis, I discuss The Rights of Mental Patients, which was first published in 1973. This book addresses common legal concerns about civil commitment. In this chapter, I argue that The Rights of Mental Patients shifts the agentic orientation of people with mental illness from marginalized group to citizen activists, both in the ways it frames the readers, and by teaching them how to speak. The second chapter examines Kenneth Donaldson’s book Insanity Inside Out, his memoir about experiences during civil commitment. I argue that the book both demonstrates Donaldson’s loss of agency in the institution and restores his agency by entering his experiences into public deliberation about civil commitment. The third chapter examines the ongoing debate in the New York Times about the rights of homeless people with mental illness in the 1980s, specifically during the winter, when the mayor sought to have them removed to shelters. By studying editorials and letters to the editor on this issue, I show the arguments that were made about the agency of homeless people with mental illness. By studying these texts, I argue that the opposition of the body and the mind in portrayals of mental patients complicates our understanding of rights and agency.

▼ Retention of college students has continued to be a concern for many people connected with higher education (Baum & Ma, 2007; Day & Newburger, 2002; Habley & McClanahan, 2004). The high school to college transition experience has been identified as a key factor in studentsâ decision to remain in college and persist to graduation (Hunter, 2006; Levitz & Noel, 1989; Pascarella & Terenzini, 2005; Roe Clark, 2005). More students than ever are coming to higher education with mental health challenges (Kadison & DiGeronimo, 2004; Soet & Sevig, 2006) but a thorough review of the literature reveals no literature on the transition experience of students that have been diagnosed with psychiatric illness. The purpose of this study was to understand and describe how students diagnosed with a mental illness experience the college transition. In addition, the study provided an understanding of the transition experience for these students at three different types of institutions. The theoretical framework for this study was Schlossbergâ s (1984) transition theory. The individuals in the sample included 18-19 year old traditional first year college students diagnosed with mental illness. Interviews were conducted with 21 respondents during their second semester of college. Data analysis revealed themes under the topics of individual characteristics, academic and social transition, and institutional differences. Findings revealed that these first year students with mental illness had many of the same developmental and transition experiences and challenges as their peers. However, their transition experiences were complicated by the daily tasks of managing medications, symptoms, counseling appointments, academic support services, and involvement of parents. Participants were learning to take responsibility for their own well-being but still needed a safety-net. In addition, respondents described resources and strategies that they used to adjust academically and socially, such as receiving academic accommodations and disclosing their diagnosis to faculty and friends. The students described their campuses in similar ways, as friendly and supportive, with few institutional differences. In general, the participants confronted challenges early during their transition but at the time of the interviews they seemed to be experiencing a successful transition.

▼ Background Undernutrition in mental illness remains a major problem. However, limited attention has been paid to addressing the problem. In Zambia, there is paucity of information on this subject. This study aimed at establishing the prevalence of undernutrition and determining the association between undernutrition and mental illness, using body mass index (BMI, kg/m²), at Chainama Hills Hospital in Lusaka. The study also investigated socio- demographic factors associated with undernutrition in mental illness. Methods A descriptive cross sectional study based on quantitative approaches involving 412 men and women was conducted at Chainama Hills Hospital. A short questionnaire was administered after obtaining a written informed consent. Patients were examined by the Principle Investigator. The weight (Kg) and height (m) and resulting BMI were measured using a standardized scale, stadiometer and BMI calculator respectively. The diagnosis of mental illness and current medication was obtained from the patient’s medical file as indicated by the attending Psychiatrist. The classification of mental illness is based on the DSM V manual. Bivariate and multivariate analysis with Stata v 13.1was carried out. Results The prevalence of undernutrition in the study was 29% across all mental illness types seen at the time. The prevalence was higher among patients with Alcohol use disorders (38%). The odds of undernutrition was significantly higher among Alcohol use disorders than any other type of mental illness odds ratio (OR) = 2.7 (P<0.001, 95% CI), adjusted odds ratio (aOR) = 2.5 (P<0.01, 95%CI). The odds of undernutrition was much lower among patients with Convulsive disorder OR= 0.24 (P= 0.04, 95%CI), aOR= 0.28 (P=0.04, 95%CI). After adjusting for socio-demographic factors, the odds were still higher in Alcohol use disorders aOR= 2.1 (P<0.01, 95%CI), and still lower among Convulsive disorders aOR= 0.31 (P=0.06, 95%CI). Factors associated with undernutrition included male gender, low level of education, low social economic status and hospitalization. Conclusion The prevalence of undernutrition in Mental illness was 29% in this study. Alcohol use disorders were strongly associated with undernutrition while Convulsive disorders were protective. Based on the results of this, treatment of Alcohol use disorders should always include appropriate nutritional supplementation. Anthropometric measurements should be routine for all patients at the hospital. This will reduce morbidity in mental illness due to undernutrition. It is strongly recommended that a policy to regulate the drinking habits and patterns in Zambia be put in place. This should help to reduce avoidable mental illness morbidity due to Alcohol abuse.
