• Resumen

  • Conducted a cross-sectional study of 451 consecutive clinic patients diagnosed using Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders-III-Revised (DSM-III-R). The study, conducted during a 17 month period, showed the group to be 65% female, with an average age 46.8 years, and about 40% employed. Affective disorders constituted 45% of cases, followed by 15% with anxiety disorders. A personality disorder or abnormal personality trait was observed in 31%. Hamilton Depression Score average was 21.9. Males had a reduced risk of affective disorders. Acute psychological stress was low or absent in 76% of patients; chronic stress was reported by 56%. Global assessment and functioning scores were good to moderate in 65% of patients. Multivariate analysis identified demographic factors associated with clinic diagnosis of affective disorder and with anxiety disorder.
