A three-year follow-up of psychiatric morbidity in urban and rural primary care

  • Helen Seivewright (a1), Peter Tyrer (a1), Patricia Casey (a1) and Nicholas Seivewright (a1)
Synopsis

Follow-up by examination of medical and psychiatric records was carried out on 357 patients with conspicuous psychiatric morbidity in two general practices three years after clinical and personality assessment using structured interview schedules. One practice was an inner-city urban one and the other was rural. Full follow-up data over the 3-year period was available for 301 patients (84 3%). After three years patients with personality disorder and those in the urban practice had greater morbidity, more contacts with all levels of the psychiatric service and more psychotropic drugs, particularly benzodiazepines. Despite this increased morbidity, the number of consultations with the general practitioner for psychiatric illness was no higher in the urban group and those for medical illness were significantly higher in the rural one. The implications of the findings are discussed with particular reference to developments in community psychiatric care.
