To determine the pattern of psychiatric morbidity prevalent among leprosy patients and to compare it with two control groups; those suffering from Tinea vesicolor and Normal subjects.
Eighty-eight leprosy patients were matched for age and sex with those suffering from Tinea vesicolor as well as normal subjects. The subjects were assessed for psychiatric morbidity through a clinical interview with PSE-9.
The prevalence of psychiatric morbidity among leprosy patients (580/1000) was significantly more than those with tinea vesicolor patients (182/1000) and normal subjects (148/1000) (p < 0.05). Depressive illness was the most common diagnosis in the three groups.
Leprosy patients are more likely to manifest with psychiatric illness than those suffering from Tinea vesicolor and normal subjects.
确定麻风病患者中普遍存在的精神疾病模式，并将其与两个对照组进行比较；患有花斑癣的患者和正常受试者。
88名麻风病患者在年龄和性别上与患有花斑癣的患者以及正常受试者相匹配。通过使用PSE-9进行临床访谈对受试者的精神疾病进行评估。
麻风病患者中精神疾病的患病率（580/1000）显著高于花斑癣患者（182/1000）和正常受试者（148/1000）（p<0.05）。抑郁性疾病是三组中最常见的诊断。
与患有花斑癣的患者和正常受试者相比，麻风病患者更有可能出现精神疾病。
