Psychiatric Illness in General Practice
Psychiatric Illness in General Practice is a seminal study that explored the occurrence and detection of psychiatric disorders in primary care settings. The research focused on identifying both overt and hidden forms of psychiatric morbidity among patients visiting general practitioners. It utilized the General Health Questionnaire (GHQ) as a screening tool, followed by standardized psychiatric interviews for diagnostic validation.[1] Some of the key findings of this study centred on the positive correlation between chronic mental illness and other forms of chronic disease.[2]
