Data are presented on the medical diagnoses and the type of general medical services used by persons with mental disorder diagnoses. This study is based on the 1975 experience of registrants in four medical programs contained in three organizational settings. The data on services were retrieved from each program's automated date system. The percent of patients seen in general medical departments receiving a mental disorder diagnosis ranged from 4.8% to 13.6% among the four programs. Patients with mental disorder diagnoses visit general medical departments from 11/2 to two times as frequently as patients without such diagnoses. Persons with a diagnosed mental disorder are likely to receive care for conditions in more International Classification of Diseases categories than other patients, and are more likely to receive a diagnosis for ill-defined conditions, signs, and symptoms.
文中呈现了有关患有精神障碍诊断的人员的医学诊断以及所使用的一般医疗服务类型的数据。本研究基于三个组织环境中四个医疗项目的注册者在1975年的经历。服务数据是从每个项目的自动化日期系统中获取的。在这四个项目中，在综合医疗科室接受精神障碍诊断的患者比例在4.8%至13.6%之间。患有精神障碍诊断的患者前往综合医疗科室就诊的频率是未患此类诊断患者的1.5倍至两倍。被诊断患有精神障碍的人比其他患者更有可能针对更多国际疾病分类类别中的病症接受治疗，并且更有可能被诊断出患有定义不明确的病症、体征和症状。
