Abstract
Analysis of a series of 600 psychiatric patients randomly selected from those attending a psychiatric clinic reveals that every single group of people shows its quota of psychiatric illness and all the major forms of illness are represented in a mixed society. From the present analysis it appears that Hindu patients are more careful for treatment than other religious groups and female patients were less frequently brought for treatment than their male counterpart. Patients coming from urban areas have many advantages over their rural counterpart in seeking scientific psychiatric treatment. Schizophrenia, affective disorders and anxiety neurosis were the three most common illnesses and these contributed to 77% of the total number of patients.
