Abstract
It has long been believed that environmental stress is an aetiological factor in psychiatric disorder, but the scientific investigation of this subject is extremely difficult, mainly due to the complexity of the intervening processes. Forms of stress which have been examined include noise, rapid social change, migration and crowding. The role of social stress remains problematic.Keywords
