Does racism inflict schizophrenia?!


Question: Does racism inflict schizophrenia!?
i read a report that black people who immigrated to Sweden had higher instances of having schizophrenia!. the reason behind it was that they were exposed to more stress due to being an immigrant of colour!.

so my question is this, does racism aggravate anxiety disorder or inflict mental illness like schizophrenia!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
The diathesis - stress model says that a genetic predisposition to mental illness PLUS environmental stressors increase a person's chances of triggering a mental illness (such as schizophrenia)!. Racism is a stressor that could aggravate anxiety and could possibly trigger symptoms of schizophrenia, but an individual needs to have the biological predisposition as well!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Of course; being ignored all the time is nothing more than voodoo in disguise!. Imagine being a Democrat and everybody else is Bill O'Reilly!. You'd swear they were all nuts, but nobody would believe you!. I get the horrors just thinking about it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

What serenty said, but biological predisposition means that the person inherited the genes!. If s/he didn't inherit the genes, the illness can't manifest!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I've heard similar reports, but about Blacks in the States!.!.!.interesting
