All psychiatric referrals numbering 338 over a period from 1.7.1996 to 30.6.1997 were retrospectively studied. Socio-demographic data, source and reason for referral, diagnosis and treatment advised were noted. More than two-third of the referrals were male patients and belonged to the productive age group of 16 years to 45 years. 83.17% of the patients were referred from general medicine, medicine allied and medical superspeclality departments. Unexplained physical symptoms was the commonest reason for referral (64.44%). The commonest psychiatric diagnosis was neurotic, stress related, somatoform disorders (45.54%).
