LEPROSY AND PSYCHOSIS
Abstract
Leprosy is a unique stress with anatomic, physiologic, psychologic and social effects on the individual. Here is an opportunity to explore this stress in terms of the mental reaction. We would expect to learn much about causation of schizophrenia and psychosis in the Carville patients. Such a study also offers hope of a better understanding of the role of psychological and social factors in the origin of all schizophrenia.
