TY - JOUR PY - 1986// TI - Psychiatric disorder in the general hospital JO - British journal of psychiatry A1 - Mayou, R. A1 - Hawton, Keith E. SP - 172 EP - 190 VL - 149 IS - N2 - There have been many reports of psychiatric disorder in medical populations, but few have used standard methods on representative patient groups. Even so, there is consistent evidence for considerable psychiatric morbidity in in-patient, out-patient and casualty department populations, much of which is unrecognised by hospital doctors. We require a better classification of psychiatric disorder in the general hospital, improved research measures, and more evidence about the nature and course of the many different types of problem so that we can provide precise advice for their management of routine clinical practice.
