TL;DR
Patients returning for follow-up care and, to a lesser extent, those with chronic medical problems appear to be at increased risk of having a mental disorder.
Abstract
Patients returning for follow-up care and, to a lesser extent, those with chronic medical problems appear to be at increased risk of having a mental disorder. The practice of selectively screening new patients for mental health problems is questioned. Screening efforts in primary care should include established patients and those with chronic medical illnesses as well as new patients.
