Which neurotic patients do psychiatrists treat?

JM Eagles and DA Alexander
Ross Clinic, Royal Cornhill Hospital, Aberdeen.

Of 336 newly referred neurotic patients, 80 were not offered continuing psychiatric treatment. The factors associated with patients' not being offered continuing treatment were: short duration of illness; history of alcohol abuse and/or deliberate self-harm; age over 50 years; being widowed; and living more than 20 miles from the main hospital complex. The implications of these findings are discussed.
