Extract

Few papers have been published on psychiatric disorders presenting in casualty departments. Such a study was last reported at Guy's Hospital in 1960 by Blackwell and Mallett. The present report deals with those psychiatric cases who attended the same casualty department during a recent period of twelve months.
