TY - JOUR PY - 2020// TI - Placing poverty-inequality at the centre of psychiatry JO - BJPsych bulletin A1 - Byrne, P. A1 - James, A. SP - 187 EP - 190 VL - 44 IS - 5 N2 - We examine epidemiological evidence for the central role of inequalities (principally economic) in driving the onset of mental disorders, physical ill health and premature mortality. We locate the search for solutions in current UK contexts, and include known and likely effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. Prevention of mental disorders and adverse outcomes such as premature mortality must begin with efforts to mitigate rising poverty-inequality. Copyright © The Author(s) 2020.
