Divorced people are much more likely to be admitted to hospital for psychiatric illness than their single, married or widowed counterparts, according to new figures from the Health Research Board.
The Activities of Irish Psychiatric Units and Hospitals 2015 report shows that 17,860 people were admitted to hospital for psychiatric care last year, a small increase from 17,797 in 2014.
Overall, the numbers of new cases continues to rise, both year-on-year and over a 10-year period. […]
… (A)lthough divorced people accounted for only 4% of all admissions, they had the highest rate of all admissions — at 759.9 per 100,000.
Married persons had the lowest rate of all admissions, at 261.9 per 100,000. …

May be psychiatric illness is a major cause for divorce?
Maybe their mental illness caused the divorce? Doesn’t anybody have any common sense?
Yep, it's the old "post hoc, ergo propter hoc" fallacy.
Regards,
People have a harder time dealing with the rejection and failure of a divorce. There’s little to no guilt to being single, married or widowed.
The anti-family left would love for everyone to believe that.
Common sense is in very short supply these days.
So divorce is not a cause of mental illness?
And I thought that at least on this site, everyone was aware of the communist dogma of “abolition of the family”.
Or maybe it’s the stigma.
“Divorced, are you now? And what did you be doin’ to bring that about? Sure and you’ll be stealing somebody else away now.”
People who have never been divorced just don’t understand what goes through the mind of someone facing the aftermath of divorce. There are a multitude of emotions that hit them all at once, some of which are anger (often as a result of putting heart and soul into a marriage for many years), embarrassment, overwhelming loss, apprehension for what the future holds (where will I live; can I afford to be on my own; will child support make me live like a pauper; how will it affect my relationship with my children; will I ever be able to find a suitable/compatible mate). These are just a few of the thoughts. There can be many, many more, and they come crashing down on you all at once, consuming your emotional energy and making it hard to concentrate.
I was a very strong person, emotionally. I have a great deal of confidence in myself. By the grace of God I held it together pretty well. My boss at the time told me she never saw a difference in my productivity or demeanor. But I will tell you there were days where it was hard for me to address the task at hand. I can very easily see where a person not so strong emotionally, or insecure, could very easily lose their emotional stability.
I never knew until I went through it myself. It was very, very tough on me.
