Stress and psychological disorders in Zimbabwe: a report on patients seen in private practice
Abstract
This report is based on the analysis of 326 case files of patients that I saw in part-time private practice over a period of live years. The aim of the investigation was to establish the stressful life events that are associated with psychological disorder. Thirteen categories of stressful events were identified. Statistical analyses revealed that these stresses were significantly associated with a number of demographic variables.
