  • Title: A census study of mental illness in Samsø.
    Author: Nielsen J, Nielsen JA.
    Journal: Psychol Med; 1977 Aug; 7(3):491-503. PubMed ID: 905466.
    Abstract:
    Census data from the Danish island of Samsø have provided information on all but 20% of the population. Fifty per cent of the population with past or present mental illness had been referred to the psychiatric service during the 18-year-period 1957--74; the proportion varied from 85% for patients with psychoses (100% for schizophrenic patients, and 90% for manic-depressive patients) to 43% with non-psychotic disorders. The frequency of past and present mental illness was 24%, higher for women with manic-depressive disorders, psychogenic (reactive) psychoses, and neuroses. The possible reasons for these and other findings are discussed.
