“…The study has been made possible by the development of the Camberwell Psychiatric Register (Wing, Wing & Hailey, 1967;Wing, Bramley, Hailey & Wing, 1968). This Register records details of all patients who live in the former Borough of Camberwell in South East London, and who have contact with psychiatric services in London and the counties of Surrey and Kent.…”

An epidemiological study has been made of rates of mental illness in a number of ethnic minorities who are immigrants to Britain, and have settled in a denned area of South London. Of the groups considered, those from Africa, the Old Commonwealth, India and Pakistan have the highest rates. The lowest rates were found in those from Cyprus and Malta, native Britons, and those from the Caribbean. After controlling for the effects of age, sex and social class it was found that the pattern of illness in a number of the immigrant groups differed from the pattern found in the native born. Those from Africa, the Caribbean and India and Pakistan manifested an excess of schizophrenia, while those from Eire manifested a dearth of such illness when compared with matched, nativeborn controls. The combination of the following factors was used to try to predict the rank order of illness rates among the ethnic groups considered: community integration; status isolation; status striving in a climate of limited opportunity; and selective migration.

“…The patients were selected and followed up with the help of the Camber well Cumulative Psychiatric Case Register (Wing et al, 1967;Wing et al, 1968). This register was started on 31st December 1964, when the register staff searched the records of all hospitals and out-patient clinics who dealt with psychiatric patients living at a Camberwell address.…”

All depressed patients from a population of 175,000 who were hospitalized in 1965-1966 at least twice, were followed up for 3 years to find out whether their course could be predicted. Out of 53 patients who did not receive lithium, 40 could be followed to the end of the period. Each of these 40 patients was studied from the 1st January 1965 to the 31st December 1969. 15 patients diagnosed as reactive depression had a poorer prognosis than the rest. The remaining 25 spent only half the time in the hospital during the follow-up (89 days per year during control period, and 40 days per year during observation period), and the result is statistically significant. The number of admissions of these 25 patients was reduced to a quarter. This result is as good as that attributed to lithium by uncontrolled studies, whose evidence must therefore be retested. Whether the results of the present study are due to the selection criteria or the administration of psychotropic drugs or both could not be answered.
