Yet <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cambridge.org\/core\/journals\/the-british-journal-of-psychiatry\/article\/ethnic-disparities-in-psychotic-experiences-explained-by-arealevel-syndemic-effects\/AB0A9F80CA07DD6B28711C43585FA744\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">our recent analysis<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> comparing data from Hackney (a deprived inner London borough with a diverse range of ethnic minorities) with data from across the country challenges this view.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Our study, which was published last month in the <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">British Journal of Psychiatry<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, compared the diagnosis rates for psychosis among black, south Asian, and white men across Britain. After allowing for socioeconomic factors such as social class and unemployment, the significant gap between the first two groups and white men disappeared. This would suggest it is these factors that account for the ethnic differences in prevalence of psychosis.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">However, when we studied data from an additional group of men living in Hackney, a different picture emerged. After allowing for those same socioeconomic factors, black and south Asian men in the borough still had higher psychosis rates than their ethnic counterparts elsewhere in the country and their white male neighbours.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The gap only disappeared when we assessed the data against four other factors, which were drug and alcohol dependence, criminality and violence, risky or coercive sexual behaviour, and anxiety. Diagnosed levels of psychosis were much more severe among men in Hackney who engaged in such behaviours or were affected by anxiety\u2014particularly when more than one featured in their lives.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">These four factors seem to form a \u201csyndemic\u201d with psychosis. The new theory of \u201csyndemics\u201d attempts to explain how different disorders and health behaviours cluster and increase the risk of further disorders in highly deprived areas. A syndemic approach shows how multiple adversities and disadvantages can exacerbate each other, and increase a person\u2019s likelihood of developing a particular condition or group of conditions. Most of this risk might track back to early life experiences that generate poorer health and poorer social and behavioural outcomes, which all seem to interact. With our study we tested (for what we believe is the first time) whether syndemics might be a better way to assess the cause of psychiatric disorders.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Our study has implications for public health, social care, and policing\/criminal justice approaches in deprived communities. It also suggests that the syndemic approach\u2014pioneered during the response to HIV\/AIDS and latterly used with diabetes\u2014could be employed to great effect in mental health research. The approach fits the idea that there are complex and multiple drivers of mental illness\u2014an idea borne out by what we see in clinical practice and the emerging research. Prevention and care should reflect this.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Our findings suggest that in some deprived communities there are additional challenges and social disadvantages for black and south Asian men on top of deprivation. It is possible that adverse early childhood experiences and other social challenges may be relevant. These experiences are hypothesised to cluster in specific geographical areas. The concept of \u201cplace\u201d\u2014which has come to the fore in local government and social policy over recent years\u2014matters.<a href=\"#_ftn5\" name=\"_ftnref5\">[5]<\/a> We think that there is a strong argument to be made that place should be seen as a risk factor in the development of psychosis for black and south Asian people.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The experience of generations of multiple disadvantages or challenges should be addressed by policymakers and those commissioning and delivering a range of public services. We need place based measures and interventions in early life that could reduce the risk of later serious mental health problems. Such measures could avoid the need for costly support and, arguably, coercive care (including assertive and compulsory treatments in the community and as inpatients) in later life.<a href=\"#_ftn6\" name=\"_ftnref6\">[6]<\/a><a href=\"#_ftn7\" name=\"_ftnref7\">[7]<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">GPs and other clinicians increasingly take into account their patients\u2019 economic circumstances when making diagnoses or referral and treatment decisions. We would suggest that they also consider the impact of issues such as anxiety, violence (for example through gang membership), and risky behaviours when evaluating the mental health of their patients in certain geographical areas.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Of course, that might be difficult in hard pressed primary care and mental health settings, yet preventive efforts are known to be cost effective over the life course, especially if applied early in life. The government\u2019s cuts over the past decade to essential (and cost effective) public health services, such as drug and alcohol treatment teams, violence prevention in a public health framework, and sexual health, will also impede attempts to create place based responses.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">While we focused on a single London borough, it is likely that these findings are relevant to a number of inner city urban areas with similar demographics and engrained social problems.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The extent of the social roots of \u201cpsychiatric illness\u201d has been debated for generations, but we would argue that those roots are more numerous than has been recognised. Further studies involving a syndemic approach would help us better identify the many causal influences on mental health and how they interact. Once we understand this, we\u2019ll be in a stronger position to identify preventive opportunities.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-46075\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.bmj.com\/bmj\/files\/2019\/11\/kamaldeep_bhui-2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"126\" height=\"168\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.bmj.com\/bmj\/files\/2019\/11\/kamaldeep_bhui-2.png 300w, https:\/\/blogs.bmj.com\/bmj\/files\/2019\/11\/kamaldeep_bhui-2-225x300.png 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 126px) 100vw, 126px\" \/><em><strong>Kamaldeep Bhui<\/strong> is a professor and head of the Centre for Psychiatry at Queen Mary University of London.
