Adults with Down syndrome may suffer from mood disorders and dementia, which has a prevalence rate of 32% by 59 years of age.

A characteristic behavioural phenotype has been described for the syndrome, which includes psychiatric and psychological manifestations. PWS has been found to be associated with affective disorder. People with fragile X syndrome–the most common identifiable cause of learning disabilities–experience a wide range of developmental and psychological challenges throughout their lifespan.

The epidemiology<span> of suicide in ethnic minority elders is also changing with some ethnic minority elderly groups at higher risk of suicide than previously thought. Despite the prevalence of dementia and depression being similar or higher in ethnic minority groups than the indigenous group, and ethnic minority elders having high general practice consultation rates, the prevalence of ethnic minority elders in contact with Old Age Psychiatry Services is low. Several factors may explain this discrepancy, including factors related to patients and their families, general practice and secondary care. However, there is evidence that this gloomy situation may be improving in some services. Old Age Psychiatry Services for ethnic minority elders should be integrated with existing ethnocentric services, should be flexible, have an ability to adapt to changing needs, be culturally sensitive and be available, accessible and acceptable to ethnic minority elders.</span></p></div>","PeriodicalId":88653,"journal":{"name":"Psychiatry (Abingdon, England)","volume":"8 9","pages":"Pages 358-362"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/j.mppsy.2009.06.005","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138376349","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is evident in women in certain sub-cultures where the demand for thinness for career advancement is endemic. There is also a correlation between eating disorders and the level of modernization and urbanization characteristic of western industrialized societies, linking it to increased social mobility, dietary changes as well as changes within family structures. Eating disorders were, therefore, thought to be unique to the ‘western culture’, an impression that was initially substantiated by the apparent absence of these disorders in non-western societies. However, the notion of the culture specificity of eating disorders began to be challenged following reports from different parts of the world when eating disorders emerged in non-western societies. This was believed at first to be a product of a simple identification with western cultural norms in this respect. However, ‘westernization’ was too simplistic and needed to be broken down to see the forces that may lie behind it. These included increased consumerism, shift from collectivist to individualist patterns, changing gender roles and increased alienation of the individual. Subsequently, the individual was forced to resort to the ‘body’ as a new medium for expressing this cultural confusion and distress. Eating disorders are an example of such socio-pathology and needs to be seen now as a marker of ‘transition’ and symptomatic of cultures caught in a process of change.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":88653,"journal":{"name":"Psychiatry (Abingdon, England)","volume":"8 9","pages":"Pages 347-350"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/j.mppsy.2009.06.009","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138376348","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
