Abstract

Introduction: Based on the results of different studies on inmate populations, the prevalence of MENTAL DISORDERs among male PRISONers was 2-3 times higher than the general population.Objective: The current study aimed at determining the prevalence of MENTAL DISORDERs among male PRISONers referred to the clinic of Central PRISON of Hamedan, Iran.Material and Methods: The study was carried out on 446 male PRISONers referred to the clinic of Central PRISON of Hamadan. The participants were selected using the purposive sampling method; they mostly complained of their mental status during the last year. The initial screening test was performed for the participants by a physician. The subjects completed the syndrome checklist questionnaire (SCL90) and the ones with cutoff point>2.5 for clinical syndrome underwent structured interviews with a psychologist and a psychiatrist.Results: Based on the obtained data, 45% of the subjects were married, 45% single, and 10% divorced. Most of them had primary school education (34%), followed by middle school (35%). MENTAL DISORDERs were mostly common in the subjects within the age range of 26 to 35 years (50%); also, 96% (n=427) of them were diagnosed with at least 1 disorder. Based on the data analysis results, DEPRESSION (41%), bipolar disorder (19%), trauma- and stress-related disorders (9%), anxiety disorders (8.8%), and substance-related disorders (8 percent) had the highest frequencies among the subjects, respectively. The comorbidity of 2 or more MENTAL DISORDERs was observed in more than 50% of the studied inmates.Discussion and Conclusion: According to the results of the current study, the prevalence of MENTAL DISORDERs, particularly mood disorders (DEPRESSION, bipolar), among PRISONers is significantly higher than the general population.
