“…These results go against the ones obtained by Zimmerman et al [44], who found a 6.9% rate, for outpatients; by Caraveo [45], who obtained a lifetime prevalence of 4.4% (2:1 W/M); and by Szadoczky et al [41,42], who got a 4.5% lifetime prevalence rate. Among the possible reasons to explain our dysthymia high rate (12%), are probably a number of risk factors in this sample.…”

“…Compared with our finding, one study conducted among psychiatric outpatients who were interviewed with the Structured Interview for DSM-IV showed that 31.4% of the patients had personality disorders. However, that number increased to 45.5% when patients with personality disorders not otherwise specified were included 39 . Another community study using the International Personality Disorder Examination (IPDE) screening questions in 13 countries concluded that the prevalence estimates were 6.1% for any personality disorder and 3.6% for Cluster A, 1.5% for Cluster B and 2.7% for Cluster C 40 .…”

Objective: This study aimed to explore the current patterns of psychiatric diagnoses in inpatient and outpatient psychiatric settings in Saudi Arabia. Methods: Cross-sectional study was conducted on patients seeking psychiatric advice at six hospitals in the five main regions of Saudi Arabia. The data were primarily obtained by reviewing patient charts. Results: Total of 1,205 patients were recruited. The majority was unemployed (71.4%), had a low level of education (85.5%), and had low income (61.9%). The most common psychiatric diagnoses among inpatients were schizophrenia (55.8%), bipolar disorder (23.3%) and major depressive disorder (7.2%). The most common psychiatric diagnoses among outpatients were major depressive disorder (29.3%), schizophrenia (28.9%), generalized anxiety disorder (15.6%) and bipolar disorder (11.5%). Primary psychotic disorders and secondary psychiatric disorders were significantly more frequent among men whereas primary bipolar disorders and depressive disorders were significantly more frequent among women in both inpatient and outpatient settings. Psychotic and bipolar disorders were significantly more frequent among younger patients whereas depressive disorders were significantly more frequent among older patients; anxiety disorders were of similar frequency in all age groups. Discussion: The most common psychiatric diagnoses among inpatients were schizophrenia and bipolar disorder whereas the most common psychiatric diagnoses among outpatients were major depressive disorder and schizophrenia.Alosaimi FD et al. / Arch Clin Psychiatry. 2017;44(3):77-83

“…Clinical Global Impression-Severity of depression (CGI-S; Guy, 1976) and Global Assessment of Functioning (GAF) ratings were recorded and the Family History Research Diagnostic Criteria (FH-RDC; Andreasen et al, 1977) assessed family history of psychiatric disorders among first-degree relatives. During the course of the study, joint-interview diagnostic reliability information has been collected on 47 patients and the interrater reliability of the psychiatric diagnoses obtained in the MIDAS study is adequate (for details see Zimmerman and Mattia, 1999;Zimmerman et al, 2005).…”

Individuals who endorse one or two of the DSM-IV criterion items for alcohol dependence but do not meet criteria for either alcohol abuse or dependence have been referred to in the literature as "diagnostic orphans." The goal of the present study is to compare diagnostic orphans for alcohol use disorders (AUD) to patients with lifetime DSM-IV alcohol abuse, alcohol dependence, and those with no-AUD symptoms on a series of demographic, diagnostic, and clinical measures. Participants were treatment-seeking psychiatric outpatients (n = 1793; 61.5% women) who completed an in-depth, face-to-face diagnostic evaluation for DSM-IV axis I and axis II disorders. Results revealed that diagnostic orphans were younger, had a higher frequency of family history positive for alcoholism, and higher rates of cannabis dependence, as compared to the no-AUD symptoms group. Diagnostic orphans differed significantly from patients with alcohol abuse and dependence on a number of demographic, diagnostic, and clinical measures. Most notably, on a lifetime basis, diagnostic orphans were less likely to meet diagnostic criteria for various substance use disorders, as compared to individuals with alcohol abuse and dependence. Taken together, these results generally do not support combining diagnostic orphans to individuals with alcohol abuse.
