Abstract
A case register comprising all admissions to psychiatric hospitals in Norway since 1916 has been examined for possible time trends during this fifty years period. Only minor changes were found to have taken place in the total incidence of the psychoses and in their marital, occupational and geographic patterns of distribution. This reflects a corresponding stability in the socio-economic conditions and in the development of mental health care in the country.
