A ten-year follow-up study of 100 patients admitted consecutively to a mental hospital revealed the following information. The patients used the hospital beds for an average of one year and two months of the ten years, that is, about. one-eighth of the time. The co-operative schizophrenic patients could be kept out of hospital with proper maintenance therapy. Patients admitted with organic psychoses died after an average of one and three-quarter years. Of the ‘functional’ cases nearly a half were alive after ten years, 8 were dead (2 or 3 suicides) and the rest could not be traced. The patients had an average of 23 physicians but this large number does not appear to have harmed them. Nearly all patients had some drug therapy, the two most frequently prescribed categories being neuroleptics and antidepressants. About half the patients had occupational and work therapy. The condition of the 68 survivors was considered to be: ‘recovered’ or ‘much improved’ in 55 per cent; ‘moderately or slightly improved’ in 40 per cent and ‘unimproved or worse’ in 3 per cent. Their last known vocational status was ‘working or self-sufficient’ in 34 per cent, ‘dependent’ upon relatives or government support in 43 per cent and not known in 23 per cent.

This study aimed to determine the change in mental health (depression and anxiety) among HIV-positive gay and bisexual men (GBM) one year after diagnosis and the disparities in trajectories of mental health between them. The potential factors contributing to the disparities were also investigated. This was a one-year follow-up study focusing on the mental health of newly diagnosed HIV-positive individuals. Participants rated their depression, anxiety, stress, and social support levels at baseline and one year later. Information on the utilization of mental healthcare and the initiation of antiretroviral therapy (ART) after diagnosis was collected at one-year follow-up. A total of 171 and 87 HIV-positive gay and bisexual men, respectively, completed two-time points surveys in this study. The depressive and anxiety symptoms experienced by HIV-positive GBM improvement one year after diagnosis. These improvements tended to be smaller in gay participants. Other factors including mental health care utilization and ART status during the one-year follow-up period, changes in social stress scores and objective social support scores were also associated with the changes in depression and anxiety, and all these factors, except for change in objective support, were found to be statistically different between HIV-positive GBM. Special attention should be given to the mental health of HIV-positive gay men. Promoting HIV-positive gay men to assess to mental health services and ART may be important for these populations to improve mental health. Enhancing social support and reducing stress levels may also be necessary for the vulnerable HIV-positive sexual minority groups.
