In a 6-month prospective study of all admissions to an old age psychiatric unit, 34 per cent were found to have significant physical illnesses at the time of admission. Sixty-two per cent of the conditions were detected by a combination of clinical methods and simple tests alone. There was no significant difference in terms of age, sex, marital status or a past history of psychiatric treatment between those who were initially diagnosed as physically ill and those who were physically well at the time of admission. Higher levels of morbidity were found in those with an organic psychiatric diagnosis compared to those with a functional psychiatric diagnosis, although this did not reach a statistically significant level. Suggests that simple tests can be carried out by the community by family doctors.
