| Annotation | This article arose from questions raised in the course of a study on poverty and health in an inner city area of Plymouth. It questions the values of mental health targets set out in 'The health of the nation', which appears not to acknowledge social variables such as poverty and unemployment as important influences on mental health and ill health. The article examines definitions of mental ill health, and the way in which literature on poverty differently interprets men's and women's experiences. The author concludes that the relationship between poverty, gender and mental health is a complex and under-researched area. |
