Abstract
The main aim of this investigation is to determine whether patients with psychiatric illness have more somatic illness than those who are psychiatrically well, and conversely, whether those who have more than an average amount of physical sickness also suffer from an excess of psychiatric disability. A subsidiary purpose is to determine how much “psychosomatic” illness occurs in association with physical and with mental illness.Keywords
