Abstract

Impact of immigration and cultural factors on mental illness Robjant et al (pp. 306–312 ) have undertaken a systematic review of the mental health status of immigration detainees and were able to identify ten relevant studies. On the basis that many young people hold negative attitudes about mental illness, Naylor et al (pp. 365–370 ) undertook a two-group pre-test–post-test intervention study of the impact of classroom-based education on mental health issues common to adolescents. HPA axis dysfunction and migraine in depression In a prospective study, Juruena et al (pp. 342–349 ) found that poor pre-treatment hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal (HPA) axis function predicted non-response to intensive in-patient treatment in a sample of individuals with treatment-resistant depression.
