    Published on: August 18, 2020

  • Data collected included demographic information and clinical diagnoses.
  • Patient treatment pathways, including hospitalization and duration of office visits, were tracked.

    • Main Results:

    • Eighty-five percent of patients presented with a distinct psychiatric disorder, with 50% experiencing affective disorders.
    • A significant proportion sought psychiatric help due to emergencies, and many were hospitalized upon initial assessment.
    • The majority of patients attended six or more office visits over 18-24 months.
    • Male patients were disproportionately represented among those seeking emergency care, requiring hospitalization, and receiving prolonged treatment.

    Conclusions:

    • First-time psychiatric patients in private practice often present with significant disorders, including affective disorders, frequently in crisis.
    • Emergency presentations and initial hospitalizations are common, highlighting the severity of need.
    • Extended treatment is frequently required, with males showing a higher need for emergency services, hospitalization, and longer treatment durations.
