The objective of this paper is to provide a review on the psychiatric comorbidity research in India based on the data published in the last six decades. The comorbidity data world over reflects that it is a much more common phenomenon than observed in routine clinical practice. In India, research into this domain of psychiatry has been limited, with comorbidity reported to be as high as 60%. In the few publications in this area, most of the authors have looked into substance related comorbidity. Small numbers of studies have looked into comorbid conditions in child psychiatry, especially mental retardation and very few studies have looked at other comorbidities. The landmarks in the studies in the area of psychiatric comorbidity have been highlighted in this review article.
本文旨在对过去六十年中在印度发表的精神病学共病研究数据进行综述。世界各地的共病数据表明，这一现象比在常规临床实践中观察到的更为普遍。在印度，这一领域的精神病学研究受到限制，共病报告高达 60%。在这一领域的少数出版物中，大多数作者都研究了与物质相关的共病。很少有研究关注儿童精神病学中的共病情况，特别是智力迟钝，也很少有研究关注其他共病。本文对精神病学共病领域的研究里程碑进行了重点阐述。
