“…This is mainly because significantly more cohabiting men (15 %) had a "psychosomatic primary diagnosis, mild degree", than single men (3.5 %). The findings agree with a Finnish psychiatric epidemiological study (28), where psychosomatic disturbances occurred more often than averagely in "balanced" marriages, and with a Norwegian clinical study (29), in which neurotics remained unmarried and got divorced more often than patients with psychosomatic disorders.…”

A representative selection of 2,283 persons, 18-65 years old in "former" Stockholm County were examined by psychiatrists in 1970-71. The total non-response was 12%. The 12-month prevalence of mental disorders in relation to social class (I-III), marital status and immigration was estimated. The "psychiatric diagnoses of moderate and severe degree" were significantly more prevalent in social class III (14% and 2.7%) than in I (6.9% and 0.6%) and II (9.8% and 0.9%) and significantly more prevalent among single (16% and 4.6%) than among cohabiting persons (9.6% and 1.0%). The mental disorder/immigration relationship should here be interpreted with certain reservations. One significant difference was noted: the "psychiatric diagnosis of severe degree" was significantly more prevalent for men born in Sweden (1.5%) than for men born abroad (0.3%).

A comparative study was conducted on the psychological features of chronic pancreatitis, peptic ulcer, ulcerative colitis and the irritable colon syndrome by means of psychological tests and interviews. The patients with irritable colon syndrome were found to be the most neurotic of all, whereas those with the definite type of chronic pancreatitis and ulcerative colitis presented prominent alexithymic characteristics. About one half of the patients having peptic ulcer showed alexithymic features. Despite their neurotic tendencies shown on the psychological tests, the patients with the suspicious type of chronic pancreatitis were socially better adjusted than those with irritable colon syndrome. It was also noted that the concept of alexithymia needs to be elucidated by including such factors as over-adaptation to the environment, certain distorted life habits and lack of bodily sensations.
