Abstract

Abstract


An attempt is made to document the prevalence of psychiatric disorder among the adult population of three general practices in Karachi. After a brief course in psychiatry we tried to identify broad diagnostic categories like psychosis, neurosis, anxiety-depression syndrome, psychosomatic and somatopsychic distur­bances. Being aware of our limitations we can with confidence state that the prevalence of psychiatric disorder among the adult patients attending our practice is much higher than 12% which this study reports
(JPMA 37 2, 1987).
