“…Ancient literature from U.S. mentions schizophrenic reactions as the predominant admission diagnosis, alcoholic disorders the next and depressive reactions the least. 2 In one of the study from England, depression and anxiety were the most common reason for hospital admission, accounting for 29.6% of all admissions, schizophrenia and related psychoses accounted for 26.0% of admissions, substance misuse 19.1% and others 12.2%. 3 Previous epidemiological studies from India have found the most common disorders in community as affective disorders / anxiety neurosis, followed by alcohol use disorders, mental retardation, epilepsy and schizophrenia.…”

Background: Pattern of psychiatric disorders found among patients visiting the hospital helps in understanding the epidemiology, heath seeking behavior as well as strategic service planning and development. Methods: A retrospective health record review, of all the patients visiting outpatient care and in-patient care of psychiatry department of a tertiary care hospital in a period of two years, was conducted to assess the prevalence and trend of most common psychiatric disorders among them. Results: Major depressive disorder and Alcohol use disorder were the most common conditions found in outpatient and in-patient settings respectively. Outpatient consultations were consistently increasing whereas in-patient admissions were variable and decreasing with time. Conclusion: Current scenario and trends of psychiatric disorders among this group of patients is in line with epidemiological patterns and reflects a healthy trend of community oriented (out-patient based) care.

Descriptive statistics derived from a psychiatric case register are presented. They may be useful for a more rational planning of new services, and provide a preliminary evaluation of the effects of the recent Act (1978) which has abolished large mental hospitals in Italy. Each component of the 1-year prevalence rates has been examined closely, and the results have indicated three main considerations: abolishing the large mental hospital does not abolish the long-stay patients still living in it, and these people will remain a heavy load on the mental health care system for a long time; the new Act has halved admission rates, but the decline may be a positive result if in-care and out-care are sufficiently integrated; treated out-patients tend to increase year by year, and they seem more and more to be "young men and middle-aged women" suffering from minor psychiatric disorders. Finally, a closer collaboration between planners and evaluators is suggested.

“…Desegregation did not occur in a static environment. Maryland, like most other States, has 3, 303,343 2, 740, 185 563, for some time been engaged in a program to develop and employ new treatment concepts and modalities, to improve staff-patient ratios, and to construct new facilities (6). While the net effect of these changes cannot be gauged, our observation has been that they occurred fairly uniformly in the four hospitals studied.…”

SEGREGATION OF white and Negro mental hospital patients was traditional for many years in the South and in most States bordering this area. In some States, this division was required by law while it persisted in others by local custom. Specific patterns varied, with some States providing separate hospitals for the two racial groups while others maintained separate buildings, units, or wards within the same facility. Beginning in the late 1950's, partly by administrative decision and partly by local legal action, programs for desegregation of these facilities gradually developed. All States have now desegregated their publicly operated mental hospitals. Efforts to achieve specified levels of inte-Dr.
