[Epidemiology and psychiatry].

Epidemiology addresses itself more to disease than to the patient. In psychiatry the distinction between disease and health may be very arduous as are the determinations of its etiology. Efforts have been made recently to reach more coherence in the classification of diseases. The most noteworthy of these is the DSM-III of the American Psychiatric Association. Epidemiology played an important role in the elaboration of these classifications. Epidemiology can also teach us a more logical approach to problem solving. Such a logical approach is still lacking in psychiatric theories, ways of thinking and even modes of practical organisation.

[The readmission of schizophrenics: a retrospective study over 5 years].

Since the introduction of neuroleptics, the number of beds in psychiatric hospitals has decreased progressively, but, in the same time, the number of readmissions has increased. For schizophrenic outpatients, we can estimate that 68% will be readmitted during the 5 years following their departure from the hospital. In our retrospective survey, we have studied the different factors which influence the readmissions. We have shown, with a statistical significancy, that an agricultural background, a fulltime job and brief hospitalizations prevent the readmissions. However patients aged less than 30 years, with long hospitalizations and living alone have a high risk of readmission. The most frequent causes are patient's omission to take prescribed drugs, environmental conflicts and alteration in the familial situation.

[Introduction].

Mental retardation has been much neglected in the past by physicians, especially as far as the clinical, long-term care is concerned. This care can only be adequately performed by a team grouping physician, psychologist, social worker, teacher, educator, etc. The physician must be familiar with the various aspects of mental retardation, including its social implications.
