From the other end of the problem there is no doubt that the Scottish population suffers from more psychiatric illness than say the comparative rate for the English, though no greater than northern Ireland. However the main attributable reasons found in multi factoral analysis in 1979 (University of Birmingham) was linked to the weather, alcoholism , which was rampant amongst men and women , and domestic violence, ( which may or may not be related to SCP). The evidence on this latter point is murky , if you want to prove it you rely on International data , which was drawn from studies whose methodology largely presupposed a link : if you say not you dismiss these studies and say there is nothing to imply that link in Scotland, and in any case, although important the incidence whist higher is not significant when compared with the massive differences in SCP incidents.
