[Invalids due to psychiatric reasons].
A sample of 150 applicants for insurance indemnity for psychiatric disability discriminates from a general township population by older age and lesser education, and from an outpatient group by older age, only. In the sample of the insurance applicants, there were diagnosed more neuroses and less other non psychotic psychiatric disturbances and less oligophrenics than in the outpatient group. 22 insurance applicants proved to be able to work. Among the disabled no subgroup such as foreigners, females or single people proved to be more susceptible to disability than others. Neurosis was the most frequent diagnosis among the disabled. The depressive syndrome and, equally, personality disorder tended to lead to disability mainly in the more than 50 years old.
