Sažetak
Objective: This article aims to examine data on Psychiatric diagnoses among deaf people in comparison with hearing people in
the psychiatric hospital in Beau-Vallon.
Method: This work proposes to study the diagnostic data from the Summary Psychiatric Minimum (Résumé psychiatrique
minimum: RPM) from the years 2000 until 2009 from the psychiatric hospital Beau Vallon and for which a hearing problem has
been highlighted on Axis III. The sample data of the deaf population will be compared with the sample of the total population
represented by all patients for the year 2008. Both samples were found to be equivalent after a Mann-Whitney test to study the
relationship between two independent samples with quantitative data.
Results: The results show an overrepresentation of the diagnosis of psychotic disorders (40.7% against 29.3%), an equivalence
of depressive disorders (18.5% against 18 %) but bipolar disorders were absent in the deaf while they were found in 5.7% of patients
with normal hearing, an overrepresentation in the deaf population of anxiety disorders (11.1% against 3.4%), intellectual disabilities
(37% against 13.4% in the hearing population) and an under-representation of personality disorders (25.9% against 61.2% in the
hearing population)
Conclusion: In this example, several concepts can be put forward to demonstrate bias and prejudice in the specific diagnostic
support for deaf people with psychiatric teams who are not specialized in the treatment of deafness
