Sammanfattning
All visits at a primary health care centre were studied during four weeks. The frequency of psychiatric symptoms or psychosocial problems noted by the doctors was recorded on a special form in addition to routine registration of diagnoses. Such problems were noted in 553 out of 3 205 visits, corresponding to 17.3 %. One conclusion is that the routine registration of diagnoses is insufficient in terms of planning psychiatric resources and the training of doctors. Possible reasons for the differences found are discussed.
