From the Editor and Centre Lead’s desk Stephen Stansfeld
Welcome to our Winter edition of the Centre for Psychiatry Newsletter. The chill winds of the recession still blow around us and the cost in terms of mental health of the population is likely to be high. Unemployment, debt and financial problems are all related to higher rates of mental health problems. At the same time, nationally, there is a crisis in recruiting new doctors into psychiatry. Professor Simon Wessely, in our last academic psychiatrists were a bit too apt to moan about their lot and not focussed sufficiently on treatment of common mental disorders, the depressive and anxiety disorders that are most frequent in the community. Despite this apparently negative environment there have been several recent positive developments. Thus it is with great pleasure I report the developments in the

treatment year, patients assigned to DBT were self-harming on average 2 times per month
whereas patients assigned to TAU were self-harming on average 7
times per month - i.e. their rate of
self-harm had not changed much. This effect was even stronger in the patients who completed the
full twelve months of DBT, who on average self-harmed only once per month by the end of the

Effectiveness & Cost Effectiveness if Dialectical Behaviour Therapy treatment year, and 68% of whom did not self-harm at all by the
end of treatment. However, many
patients dropped out of treatment
early, and DBT was not significantly better than TAU at improving other symptoms of BPD.
This is the 12th randomised controlled trial of DBT for BPD. Most
of the other trials have also shown that DBT was more effective than control treatments at reducing
self-harm; however, this is the first trial to demonstrate this finding
in an NHS context. An important feature of our trial was, because our control condition was simply
any other treatment available for BPD in the area, patients in the TAU condition received a wide variety of treatments, ranging
from weekly outpatient therapy
to seeing a psychiatrist every 3
months, or receiving brief periods of intensive inpatient treatment. This meant that, on average, patients in the TAU condition
received fewer treatment hours than patients in the DBT
condition. We have often been
asked whether it would have been better to create a control condition where all patients received an
equivalent number of treatment hours to the patients receiving
DBT. However, the aim of the trial was not to compare DBT to an artificial treatment of equal
intensity, but rather to compare it to
what is ordinarily available for patients with BPD in the Newham area, so
that treatment commissioners would
Kirsten Barnicott have information on the effectiveness of DBT in relation to the real-world alternatives.
Why was DBT more effective than TAU at reducing self-harm, but not for improving other symptoms of borderline personality disorder? BPD is a complex disorder with many inter-related elements including affective instability, interpersonal difficulties and identity diffusion in addition to self-harming behaviour. The primary focus of DBT is on reducing self-harm, whereas other aspects of the disorder are less of a priority for treatment. This may explain why
patients’ achieved substantial reductions in self-harming behaviour but did not experience significant change in other aspects of BPD. It is likely therefore that, after completing DBT, patients with BPD will need other psychosocial treatments which target other aspects of BPD such as interpersonal functioning. However, given the degree of distress and risk of serious injury associated with self-harming behaviour, the RCT findings indicate that DBT should be considered a useful and important first-line treatment option for patients with BPD and self-harm.

Unemployment differences appear to cause more mental health problems among Somalis in London than those in Minneapolis A study led by Dr Nasir Warfa in our Centre has found that Somali immigrants to the UK and USA appear to integrate better and have fewer mental health problems if they are allowed to work and they receive practical support during the first few years of their time in the new country. These findings have been published in BioMed Central Public Health. The study used a survey and focus groups to investigate the experiences of Somalis living in London (UK) and Minneapolis (USA). After adjusting for various factors such as age, sex and marital status, the researchers found that Somalis in London were six times more likely to suffer from major depression and four times more likely to have any psychological disorder than those who lived in Minneapolis. Most of the 189 survey respondents and 47 focus group participants had a shared history of displacement and similar immigration experiences. Like the Olympic Gold medal athlete, Mo Farah, they came to the UK or USA because they were fleeing violence and human rights abuses in Somalia. However, 90 per cent were unemployed in London, compared to 26 per cent in Minneapolis; 98 per cent had obtained refugee status or citizenship in Minneapolis compared to 83 per cent in London.
CENTRE FOR PSYCHIATRY
Dr Nasir Warfa and study co-author Dr Ken Carswell
Dr Warfa said “that we found participants from London were more likely to have their immigration cases pending, experienced more problems of family separation and were more likely to be unemployed than Minneapolis participants. However, if they were in employment, then the risk of major depression was lower”. Professor Kamaldeep Bhui, said: “We know that employment is a key public health intervention for psychological well-being of refugee populations. In Minneapolis, at present, refugees are supported when they arrive and are allowed to work. However, in London, they are not allowed to work until their immigration status has been processed and they have been given permission to stay in the country. Preventing an able and gifted population from working is not helpful and can be detrimental to the psychological

wellbeing of refugee communities, and thus their prospects of successful integration in the long term.” Women appeared to have better mental health than men, as men suffered from loss of their masculine identity due to being unemployed. Stigmatised refugee identity and reversal of traditional gender roles were also among the significant psychological problems found among the London and Minneapolis Somalis. “If Somali immigrants are supported for the first few years of their time in a new country, and are able to work, they will do better and live economically active lives, with fewer mental health problems,” added Dr Warfa. “Whereas if these support mechanisms are not in place, then it can end up costing more in the long term because of on-going health costs.”

PSYCHIATRY STUDENT INTEREST GROUP
Guest Speakers from our first event of this Autumn/ Winter term, ‘One Day in the Life of Psychiatry.’ Top left: Dr Caroline Methuen (event chair), centre: Dr Richard Latham, bottom right: Dr Dudley Manns, top right: Dr Helen Bruce PSI - the Psychiatry Student Interest group has now been active for the last two years, originally spearheaded by Professor Ania Korszun from the Centre for Psychiatry, with the aim of promoting the medical speciality of psychiatry and mental health awareness amongst the medical student population at Barts and The London (and further afield). Several studies have shown that at the dawn of Freshers Fair, newbie medical students are at their peak of optimism about psychiatry as a future career. But, unfortunately, this enthusiasm becomes eroded over the course of their years at medical school reaching its lowest ebb by the time students qualify and are ready to make their mark on the world. Why this happens is not entirely clear but PSI works to try to redress this balance and to restore enthusiasm for psychiatry and improving the lives of the many people who suffer with mental health disorders.
Passionate about Psychiatry “One Day in the Life of Psychiatry” PSI does not just preach to the converted (i.e. the minority of medical students who already know that they want to pursue surely the most interesting and stimulating specialty known to humanity!), but also to free the young minds of budding surgeons, cardiologists and the like, blinkered by the stigmatising views attached to psychiatry and people with mental health disorders. To achieve this, PSI links with other medical and surgical specialties to organise joint events on the topics ranging from psycho-dermatology, to cancer and depression.
So far this term we have had two very successful events. The first was entitled ‘one day in the life of psychiatry’ where a number of inspirational speakers from different sub-specialties (see above), discussed their personal journeys, decisions for their career choice and, why they could not imagine doing any other job. The second event focused on how to overcome the stigma
by Dr Ali Ajaz
associated with psychiatry and stigmatisation of patients with mental health disorders. Students who attended showed so much energy and motivation that they have since begun organising a new student society “Mind in Medicine”. Organising regular and stimulating PSI events will play a key role in helping to develop this society. Speaking of which, our last event was held on 11th December at Charterhouse Square. We were delighted to host two behemoths from our own psychiatric realm in the guise of Drs Trevor Turner and Mark Salter, who guided us through a unique tour of Shakespeare’s Macbeth, entitled ‘Macbeth - Mad vs Bad.’ Please keep a look out for the posters and notices of forthcoming PSI events.
