title: [Profile of the strain on the psychiatric departments in the county of Arhus].
abstract: In order to describe the psychiatric morbidity in the population of the county of Arhus, the following census study was performed. The psychiatric hospital services in the county of Arhus are divided into five separate units. The population in each of the catchment areas was checked in The National Psychiatric Case Register, which contains information on all admissions to psychiatric hospitals in Denmark since 1970 and all referrals to psychiatric community services since 1995. The study describes the prevalence of former or present patients living in each of the five units. The study focuses on patients suffering from schizophrenia, affective disorders or disorders due to abuse of alcohol or drugs. The study finds an uneven distribution of former or present patients in the county suffering from the above mentioned disorders, indicating variation in the extent to which psychiatric treatment is needed.
