Introduction

The brain drain of mental health professionals

is an important issue especially for developing countries with

inadequate recruitment rates. The European Federation of Psychi-

atric Trainees (EFPT) investigated the extent of migration among

trainees across Europe by BrainDrain research project. Results from

a non-EU country, with the lowest number of mental health pro-

fessionals per 100 000 population across OECD countries might

provide important clues.

Objective

To identify attitudes towards and behaviors towards

international migration among psychiatry trainees from Turkey.

Method

An online survey was conducted among psychiatry

trainees from Turkey in 2013, as part of the EFPT Brain Drain

Research Project.

Results

Of 107 trainees surveyed, 74% considered living abroad.

However, the rate of having even short mobility experience was

just 13%, and these were mainly educational visits. More than half

of those who visited a foreign country reported to have a satis-

factory experience, which might explain the positive influence of

these visits on attitudes towards migration. Responders perceived

academic conditions as the most important aspect of training that

needs to be improved, in line with the fact that inadequate training

programs were important reasons for migrating.

Conclusion

Overall, psychiatry trainees in Turkey tend to remain

in their country of origin, which may protect healthcare system

against the detriment of workforce loss. The relatively low rate of

migration may also reflect the legislative barriers (e.g. being o non-

EU country) impeding migrating. Our findings also suggest that the

unmet educational needs of trainees require immediate attention.

Introduction

Recent studies point for an increased incidence of

psychotic disorders among immigrants when compared to nom-

immigrant population, with a substantial risk variation being

observed among different ethnic minority groups and diverse host

countries/societies.

Objective

This communication explores the relation between

immigration and the onset of psychosis disease, namely the individ-

ual and socio-environmental factors implicated in this association.

Aims

Accessing the implications of immigration in the establish-

ment of psychotic disorders.

Methods

The authors conducted a literary search onMedline and

PsychInfo databases regarding the subject immigration and psy-

chotic disorders, elaborating a bibliographic review of the topic.

Results

A greater incidence of psychotic disorders in immigrants

(in comparison to nom-immigrant population) has been estab-

lished. In actuality a range of studies carried out in different socio

demographic contexts and with different ethnic groups (of immi-

grants) identify ethnicity, neighbourhood characteristics (namely

level ethnic density), discrimination and refugee status, as some of

the probable factors that modulate the rate of psychotic disorder

and influence its incidence in immigrants.

Conclusions

With regard to the relationship between immi-

gration and the development of psychosis, much is still to be

understood. Future studies with focuses on different individual,

social, cultural and demographic aspects need to be developed in

order to better understand and addressed this phenomenon.

Introduction

Emigration and remigration are one of the great-

est modern problems and considered as a factor provoking

manifestation and exacerbation of mental disorders as well as

pathocharacterological personality changes. In emigrants and re-

emigrants peculiarities of course of depressive disorders with

different genesis are not investigated, that impedes a development

of adequate therapeutic methods.

Aim

To study clinical-psychopathological peculiarities of depres-

sive disorders in emigrants and re-emigrants patients with

psychogenic (F43.21, F43.22) (69 non-emigrants, 68 emigrants, 67

re-emigrants), endogenous (F31.3, F31.4, F32.1, F32.2, F33.1, F33.2)

(65, 66 and 63 patients, respectively) and organic depressive disor-

ders (F06.3) (64, 62 and 61 patients, respectively) were examined.

Methods

A clinical-psychopathological investigation, Standard-

ized Personality Examination Method, Lusher’s Method of Color

Choices, HDRS, HARS, MADRS, and SCL-90-R.

Results

The highest level of severity of depressive disorders

in re-emigrants and the lowest level in non-emigrants were

registered. Re-emigrants had predominantly depressive, asthenic-

depressive and apathic-depressive forms, whereas emigrants had

mainly anxious-depressive ones. According to SCL-90-R data, emi-

grants had higher indexes of somatization, obsessive-compulsive

disorders, anxiety, whereas re-emigrants had higher indexes of

depression and interpersonal sensitivity as well as an index of

distress expression. In patients examined it was determined a

predomination of dysthymic personality traits manifested in the

frameworks of the leading depressive of anxious-depressive syn-

dromes. An influence of emigration and remigration factors was

the greatest in psychogenic depressions and the lowest in organic

depressive disorders.

Conclusions

The abovementioned regularities should be taken

into account in pharmacotherapy and a social-psychological sup-

port for such patients.

Every human being needs to acquire by interacting with peers,

learning and gradually adapted to their socio-cultural environment,

attitudes, group, class, gender, provided it fits the circumstances

of the environment, personal values to their They come again, a

reference system which is considered to be “culture”. You can-

not assess psychiatric disorders in isolation, so it is essential to

study the socio-cultural context in which it occurs. It is dynamic,

its historic time and not everyone integrates alike. Through a case

we try to show how culture influences the expression of psychi-

atric pathology. Specifically, in this patient it is evident that we are

beings bio-psycho-social. It is a continuation and must integrate
