title = "Is Migration Good For You? A Psychiatric and Historical Perspective",
abstract = "Does migration make one more or less prone to mental illness? Preceding chapters have addressed that question from different disciplinary perspectives, time periods and locations. It remains highly pertinent; in 2013, according to the United Nations Population Fund, 3.2 per cent of the world{\textquoteright}s population (232 million individuals) lived outside their country of origin. A Gallup poll two years earlier, based on research in more than 150 countries from 2005 to 2010, found that approximately nine per cent of the world{\textquoteright}s adults wished to move to another country permanently.",
