AbstractSince the 1970s, psychiatric care in the western world has undergone fundamental changes known as de-institutionalisation. This has changed the living conditions for people with severe mental illness. The purpose of this study was to investigate the living conditions and utilisation of care and social services for a group of people in Sweden with diagnosis of psychosis over a 10-year period, 2004–2013. During this period, psychiatric care decreased at the same time as interventions from the social services increased. Half of the persons in the studied group did not have any institutional care, that is, neither been hospitalised nor dwelling in supported housing, during the last 5 years, and just over 20% had no contact with either psychiatry or the municipality's social services during the last 2 years of the investigated period.

There is considerable dispute over the value of frontal leucotomy in the treatment of mental illness. Uncontrolled studies have been numerous. Many report good results (Pippard, 1955; Scoville, 1960; Sargant and Slater, 1963; Birley, 1964; Sykes and Tredgold, 1964; Post, Rees and Schurr, 1968). Some are more sceptical (Barahal, 1958). Controlled investigations have been few, and their findings unfavourable. Robin (1958) observed no difference between the outcome of 198 patients who had a standard leucotomy for functional psychosis and an equal number of carefully, but retrospectively, matched controls. In another five-year controlled follow-up study involving 183 patients in each group no significant differences in outcome, as measured by the rate of hospital discharge was found. (McKenzie and Kaczanowski, 1964.)

SYNOPSISA 10-year follow-up study is reported of 50 hypogonadal males, 34 of whom had the karyotype 47,XXY and 16 karyotype 46,XY. The social class of the former group was significantly lower and the frequency of criminal behaviour higher when compared with the latter group and the Danish male population. The frequency of mental illness was higher in the Klinefelter males with karyotype 47,XXY than in the remainder. The aetiology and pathogenesis of deviant mental development in the patient population and various aspects of their treatment are discussed.

However, substance use and criminality continued to be prevalent and a minority remained homeless.Clinical implicationsSpecialist psychiatric teams are a valuable adjunct to mainstream services in areas with high levels of homelessness.
