BackgroundMigration is a risk factor for the development of schizophrenia.AimsTo examine whether migration is also a risk factor for bipolar affective disorder, unipolar depressive disorder and mood disorders in general.MethodMedline was searched for population-based incidence studies concerning mood disorders among migrants and mean relative risks were computed using a mixed-effects statistical model.ResultsOnly a few studies of unipolar depressive disorder were retrieved. The mean relative risk of developing bipolar affective disorder among migrants was 2.47 (95% C11.33–4.59). However, after excluding people of African-Caribbean origin in the UK this risk was no longer significantly increased. The mean relative risk of mood disorders of unspecified polarity was 1.25 (95% CI 1.04–1.49) and that of any mood disorder was 1.38 (95% CI 1.17–1.62).ConclusionsThere is no conclusive evidence for a large increase in the risk of mood disorders associated with migration.

In a recent letter to this Journal, Galdi (1974) stated, ‘Through what is … a genetic approach to classification, Winokur and associates … reported the isolation of two subtypes of unipolar depressive disorder differentiated by age of onset and contrasting family history pattern.’ These subtypes (Winokur, 1974) are termed depression spectrum disease (early-onset; most likely female; familial alcoholism and/or antisocial personality) and pure depressive disease (late onset; equally male or female; little familial alcoholism and/or antisocial personality).
