[New Swedish foundation for psychiatric research].
Psychiatric research in the five Nordic countries has yielded a substantial body of work during recent years-e.g., on Alzheimer's disease, schizophrenia and neurotransmitters. Owing to their geographic position and the reliability of their demographic records, the Nordic countries are uniquely suited to epidemiological studies-e.g., of mental disorders over time. Research spans both the fields of biological and clinical community psychiatry in all five countries, though the emphasis varies somewhat: the focus in Sweden and Denmark being more on biological psychiatry, while in Norway and Finland it is more on community, adolescent, and emergency psychiatry.
