Psychosis and migration: does a correlation exist?

Abstract:
The mental health of migrants is considered today one of the major problems of individual and public health. Unlike other European countries, such as England and France, where migration is linked to a colonial past, Italy has only recently found itself faced with a tumultuous transformation of identity, becoming from a country of emigration, an immigration country. In light of all this, this work stems from the need to shed light on the relationship between social integration and development of psychiatric disorders in migrants, with particular attention to the correlation between migration and psychotic pathology. Finally, the elaboration of various issues related to the migration process will be dealt with, placing the priority on investigating the greater psychiatric morbidity in migrants compared with natives.
