ABSTRACT Introduction: Mental health problem is a major public health issue in the world. However, data in most of the developing countries including Nepal are scarce. The pattern of psychiatric morbidity in private general hospital in quite different from that in mental hospital. Method: All the new patients reported to the department of psychiatry in Kathmandu hospital from 14th April 2007 to 13th April 2010 and diagnosed according to ICD=10 formed the study population for the present study. Methods: New psychiatric patients with psychiatric disorders seeking treatment in psychiatric OPD of Kathmandu hospital were included in the study. Results: A slight preponderance of males (50.3%) and residents of central region (77.8%) was observed. Patients with neurotic, stress related and somatoform disorder (38.1%) emerged as largest group followed by mood disorder (18.0%). Among all the patients, other anxiety disorders (Generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder, etc) comprised of 26.9% and depression 15.3%. Other commonly diagnosed conditions are migraine (9.4%), schizophrenia (6.3%), alcohol dependence (4.5%) and epilepsy (3.9%). Conclusion: The onset of most mental illness occurred in adolescent and young adults. Thus, mental illness have a significant impact on person, family and nation as a whole.so, the policy makers should give high priority for mental illness for preventive, promotive and curative services in Nepal. Key words: Psychiatric morbidity, OPD, profile. INTRODUCTION The world health organization (WHO) defines mental health as a positive sense of well being encompassing the physical, mental, social, basic economic and spiritual aspects of life; not just the absence of disease. Mental and behavioral disorders are understood as clinically significant conditions categorized by alteration in thinking, mood, emotion or behaviors associated with personal distress and/ or impaired functioning. Mental and behavioral disorders are not just variation within the range of normal but are clearly abnormal or pathological phenomena. Correspondence : Dr.Mohan Raj Shrestha, Mental Hospital, Lagankhel drmohanrajshrestha@hotmail.com It has been established that as many as 500 million people may be suffering from same kind of mental disorders or impairments 1. Mental and behavioral disorders are common, affecting more than 25% of all people at sometime during their lives 2. They are also universal, affecting people of all countries and societies, individuals at all ages, women and men, the rich and the poor, from urban and rural environments. They have an economic impact on societies and on the quality of the life of individuals and families. Around 20% of all patients seen by primary health care professionals have one or more mental disorders. 3 Mental disorders are identified and diagnosed using clinical methods that are similar to those used for physical disorders. Mental disorders are thought to impose a significant disease burden in developing as well as in developed 28 Volume 11 Number 1 Jan-June 2011
2 regions of the world. 4 These high prevalence relapsing and remitting conditions are well recognized as significant contributors to impaired quality of life, disablement and increased consumption of health services. 5 However in developing regions the primary public focus is upon malnutrition and infections disease. Mental disorders are not given due priority. In 1909 Adolf Meyer advocated management of mentally ill patients outside the mental hospitals and proposed a comprehensive community mental health approach. A unit of psychiatric OPD in general hospital would have an advantage over the mental hospitals because they would be easily accessible, approachable without stigma and would facilitate out patient treatment for mental health problems. Positive trends in psychiatric help seeking can be directly linked to the advantage offered by a general hospital psychiatric unit. Proximity to the medical specialties ensures prompt referral. The stigma attached to mental illness presents a serious barrier not only to diagnosis and treatment of mental disorders but also to accept them in the community.still now maximum people are out of modern treatment facilities due to poor economic Conditions prevailing superstition, stigma on mental patients and lack of education and knowledge about scientific method of treatment of mental illness.the aim of this study was documenting the pattern of psychiatric morbidity among the patients seeking treatment in psychiatric OPD of tertiary care level private hospital and Comparing the pattern of psychiatric morbidity with other published literature. METHODS This study was conducted in the out patients department of psychiatry in Kathmandu hospital, 50 bedded tertiary health care institution. All the new patients reported to the department from 14 th April 2007 to 13 th April 2010 (3 years) and diagnosed according to ICD-10 formed the study population for the present study. The study design was a retrospective detailed review of all cases records. Data were collected and analyzed using SPSS version RESULTS Between 14 th April 2007 to 13 th April 2010, 664 new patients visited to psychiatry OPD of Kathmandu hospital. A total of 664 new cases were seen during above period of which 33 (50.3%) were male and 331 (49.7%) were female. Table 1 shows age wise distribution of cases attended in OPD. Among them majorities of patients were in age group (N=213, 32.2%) followed by years (N=168, 25.2%) more than 50% of cases comprised of age group (N=381, 57.4%). Table 1: Age group distribution. Age group Male Female Total % Total Majority of the cases were from central region (N= 517, 77.8%) where the hospital is situated; followed by western region (N= 84, 12.7%).

4 DISCUSSION:- Psychiatric morbidity is a major public health problem in the world across developed and developing countries. Mental health is as important as physical health to daily living. Most people with mental illness are treated in the community rather than in hospitals and may do not receive treatment at all. Studies regarding psychiatric morbidity are scarce in Nepal. Present study shared that out of 664 attended in the OPD, a slight male preponderance (50.3%) was noted which is consistent with the findings of Regmi et al 6, Upadhaya 7. Psychiatric morbidity in general is reportedly higher among females. A slight male preponderance was noted in this study may reflect upon the gender bias in psychiatric help seeking being more pronounced for bread earnings male member of family. Under reporting of mental disorders among females may be linked to the inferior social position, social stigma, problems with marriage etc. Maximum patients were in the age group years (32.3%), followed by the age group years (25.2 %). Previous studies had also demonstrated that most of the visitors seeking psychiatric services were younger, more than half of the patients being of the age group years (Upadhaya et al 7, Nepal e al, , wright , Shrestha , Sharma ). Present study also showed that more than half patients (57.5%) were age group of years. Among 304 patients 184 (60.5%) were males and 120 (36.4%) were females. More than 50% of patients were in the age group of years 12. Majority of the patients were from the central region (77.8%) where the hospital is situated, followed by western region. Among the central region, number of cases was from Kathmandu districts (69.8%). In previous studies done by Regmi et al 6 also majority of the patients were from the central region (73.3%) which is also similar to the findings in the studies of Nepal et al (1986) 7 and Shrestha (1987), which were conducted in Kathmandu Valley. This may be due to reason that local and nearby population seemed to have benefited the most. The central region has highly populated density, easy available of services and high rate of literacy. Another reason may be due to giving the temporary address of residence. Kathmandu district is mostly populated by the people from the different district. The lower number of patients from other region does not mean the low prevalence of mental illness. Present study showed that most of the services seekers were those who were suffering from neurotic, stress related and somatoform disorder (38.1%) followed by the patients suffering from mood disorder 18.0% which is consistent with the findings of Regmi et al 6. The largest diagnostic group in the first 150 patients attending the Psychiatric OPD was neurotic and stress related disorder followed by depression and schizophrenia 8. Wright (1987) had found that 32% of the patients were suffering from epilepsy, 25% from psychosis and 13% from depression. Sharma (1987) described 42% of the patients in his study to be suffering from depression, 17% from neurosis and 16% from epilepsy In the study by shrestha (1987), 67% of the patients were suffering from psychosis, 18% from neurosis and 6% from epilepsy. In the study done by Ahmed F in 2009 majority of patients were from schizophrenia and psychiatric disorder. New psychiatric patients with psychiatric disorders seeking treatment from the psychiatric unit of district hospitals muktsar (Punjab), maximum number of patients were diagnosed to have mood disorders (57.4%) 13. The study by Dube (1970) which was conducted in the rural community of Uttar Pradesh (India) in which about 44% of the patients were suffering from neurotic and stress related disorders and 9.1% from schizophrenia 14. The reason behind the diversity of results of different studies may be many and senses of them are cultural factors, set up of study e.g. Psychiatric OPD of a general hospitals, mental hospitals, private clinic and health post. The spectrum of psychiatric cases material seen in general hospitals psychiatric unit is much wider than seen in mental hospitals. Unlike mental hospitals, where the clinical materials is predominantly psychosis, in a general hospitals psychiatric unit there is a wide range of clinical problems including psychosis, neurosis, personality disorders, drug dependence, organic brain disorders etc 15. Apart from the major groups described above, other disorders the patients were migraine (9.4%), schizophrenia, schizotypal and delusional disorders (6.4%), mental and behavioral disorders due to psychoactive substance use (6.0%) etc. Shrestha et al 10 in a prospective analysis of 300 cases attending in Volume 11 Number 1 Jan-June
5 psychiatric out patients clinic in Kathmandu reported 2% of total cases having different psychiatric problems related to alcohol, all were males. In a study done by Singh, migraine comprises of 4.6% schizophrenia, schizotypal and delusion disorders 9.6%, mental and behavioral disorders due to psychoactive substance use 8.1% etc 13. Neuro patients with epilepsy constituted 3.9% of the total sample which is less than reported by Singh (9.7%). The variable attending of patients with schizophrenia is reported in different Indian studies of different setting (range %) 16. Isaac et al 16 reported that in sakalwara in a three year period 13.7% patients of schizophrenia were seen at Raipur Rani the corresponding figure was 11% % were diagnosed as suffering from schizophrenia, shizotypal and delusional disorders at civil hospital Manimajra which is similar to present study (6.4%). 18 Psychotic patients represented 8.6% of the total sample. Lack of awareness, superstitions, intervention by faith healers and difficulties in bringing disruptive patients to far off treatment facilities are possible factor for lower rate of these serious disorders. Traditional healers are usually the first to be consulted in case of mental illness. As observed by sharma teaching faith healers to recognize psychosis and motivating them to send such patients to mental health professionals would bridge in gap between community and the psychiatrist. CONCLUSION The onset of most mental illness occurred in adolescent and young adults, commonly in the males and most are neurotic illness. Thus mental illnesses have a significant impact on the family. The costs of medication, time off work and the excess support can create a service financial burden for families. Both the care requirements and stigma attached to mental illness often lead to isolation of family member from the community and their social support network. The serious stigma and discrimination attached to mental illness are among the most tragic realities facing people with mental illness. They force people not to disclose the illness and this causing them to delay seeking health care and avoid sharing their mental health problem with friends, co-workers employers, health service providers and others in the community. Thus, there is a need to increase the awareness in the general public regarding the impact of mental illness and the need for timely treatment. REFERENCE: 1.
