The influence of social factors on common mental disorders. Destabilisation and restitution.
This study distinguishes between processes that cause individuals to experience symptoms--destabilisation--and those that are associated with loss of symptoms over time--restitution. It is shown that different clinical, social, and personality variables are associated with each of these processes. Where destabilisation is concerned, it is shown that different variables were associated with the development of symptoms of anxiety and those of depression. Different variables were associated with restitution, and they did not show the same relationship with the symptom dimensions of anxiety and depression as those which were associated with destabilisation.
