Episode 5 Craig Morgan talks about society and mental health

In this episode we discuss how social inequality show up on those
who have contact with mental health services in
disproportionately higher numbers. Craig Morgan is Professor of
Social Epidemiology, Head of the Health Service and Population
Research Department at the Institute of Psychiatry, King’s
College London, and Co-Director of the ESRC Centre for Society
and Mental Health. He has previously held a MRC Special Training
Fellowship in Health Services Research, and completed his PhD in
Social Psychiatry, at the Institute of Psychiatry. His research
is focused on social and cultural influences on the onset, course
and outcome of mental disorders, particularly during adolescence,
and he has led multi-country programmes on these topics, funded
by, among others, the MRC, Wellcome Trust, European Union, and
ESRC. He has published over 200 academic papers on these topics,
and edited two books, Society and Psychosis, published by
Cambridge University Press, and Principles of Social Psychiatry,
published by Wiley-Blackwell. He is editor-in-chief of the
journal Social Psychiatry and Psychiatric Epidemiology.
