A 7% one-year prevalence rate of conspicuous psychiatric morbidity was found in patients attending a single general practice and a personality disorder was present in 33·9% of all patients seen, although it was rarely diagnosed as the primary problem and was linked to the diagnosis of anxiety states, rather than depressive neurosis.

Although the study design contains a sampling bias in favor of chronically institutionalized cases, several lines of evidence suggest that the trends reported here are not artifacts of institutionalization but are due to schizophrenia.
