Abstract
Psychiatric disorders and medical comorbidity in a community epidemiological study. From a previous two-stage epidemiological community study that assessed pr evalence of mental disorders and presence of medical pathology, we compare four groups (healthy subjects, subjects with medical illnesses, subjects with mental disorders and subjects with mental and medical pathology) in relation to a set of sociodemographic features and GHQ-28 scores. Sample studied is 242. Results (scales and item to item), show that GHQ-28 scores are significantly higher in the comorbid group.
