Physical Morbidity

BackgroundThe aim was to identify the amount of psychiatric and physical morbidity identified in suicide victims prior to death.MethodA survey was made of primary care records of Scottish suicide victims in the years 1988 and 1989.ResultsLess morbidity was encountered than in previous studies. Single persons and persons from lower socio-economic groups were less likely to have a diagnosis of depression. No association was found between physical and psychiatric morbidity. Depressed single persons and depressed persons from lower socio-economic groups were less likely to receive antidepressants. GPs prescribed lower dosages of antidepressants than psychiatrists. Patients receiving antidepressants were more likely to die by drug overdose.ConclusionsThere are groups in whom depression may be being overlooked and others in whom depression could be treated more vigorously. There are risks in prescribing antidepressants which are potentially fatal in overdose.

Physical Morbidity

Psychosomatic medicine embraces the influence of psychological factors on the development and course of diverse physical symptoms. Reasons are given why it is recognized that physical morbidity is influenced by such factors, with illustrations from the authors' research on acute ischemic heart disease, peptic ulcer and bronchial asthma. The nature of the psychological factors can be elucidated with the use of recently developed psychometric tests; these relate particularly to mood disturbance, either attributable to affective disorder or prominent personality traits. To insure that samples studied are representative of the disease or symptom being considered, and that all relevant variables are taken into account, the research approach usually necessitates a multidisciplinary team.

Physical Morbidity

Informal discussions between psychiatric trainees reveal frequent difficulties and frustrations in providing adequate medical care to psychiatric patients. Our writing this article was prompted by the death of a patient who had been referred to casualty with behavioural and physical problems, and who, once labelled as a ‘psychiatric patient, did not receive the medical attention he required. Other trainees will have their own similar examples, at best resulting in only inconvenience to the junior doctor. This may seem surprising given the knowledge that people with psychiatric problems suffer increased physical morbidity. We were all taught as medical students that a physical presentation may mask a psychological problem and vice versa, and that both problems may co-exist. However, this knowledge does not always impinge on hospital clinical practice. From the viewpoint of junior psychiatrists, cross-specialty referral and consultation, and the provision of adequate medical care to our patients can be difficult. In this discussion, we will deal briefly with the contribution of ‘physical’ medicine to this state of affairs and then turn in more detail to the influence of psychiatry. Recommendations for improvement are made.
