Self-esteem, vulnerability and psychiatric disorder in the community

JG Ingham, NB Kreitman, PM Miller, SP Sashidharan and PG Surtees

One hypothesis concerning the nature of the link between negative self- appraisal and certain psychological disorders is that low self-esteem may be a consequence of both early and current experiences, and may predispose to breakdown. An alternative view is that the negative self- concept is only to be found in the presence of illness, which is the primary cause. Results are reported from a community survey, confirming the influence of certain biographical factors on self-esteem in the absence of illness, whereas other factors appear to operate only after the onset of illness. Anxiety as well as depression, has effects on self-esteem.
