title: [Psychiatric implications of bank closing].
abstract: The author investigated the incidence of emotional problems in 96 persons affected by the economic disaster which occurred in Panama during the period in which banks were closed. The authors used the self-reporting questionnaire, a survey of the social support network, a psychiatric examination, cognitive appreciation and the subject's adaptive behavior. The results obtained suggest that individuals who are culturally isolated are more susceptible to present emotional disorders.
