Ninety three female neurological in-patients were assessed in a collaborative neurological and psychiatric study. An overall prevalence of definite psychiatric disorder of 34% was found, depression being the most common diagnosis. Psychiatric morbidity was most common when the neurologist felt that the presentation could not be explained by a neurological disorder. The majority of such patients had symptoms which could be explained by the psychiatric disorder but a substantial number could not be given a definite diagnosis. The General Health Questionnaire was not found to be a useful screening instrument in this setting.
在一项神经科与精神科的合作研究中，对93名女性神经科住院患者进行了评估。结果发现，确诊精神障碍的总体患病率为34%，抑郁症是最常见的诊断。当神经科医生认为临床表现无法用神经疾病解释时，精神疾病的发病率最高。这类患者中的大多数有可用精神障碍解释的症状，但有相当一部分无法给出明确诊断。在这种情况下，未发现一般健康问卷是一种有用的筛查工具。
