Abstract
Information on all Lebanese patients admitted to psychiatric care during a six-month period in 1964 was obtained with the co-operation of all three hospitals and twenty out of twenty-one psychiatrists rendering service to the community. The methodology and general results have been discussed in an earlier communication (4). In this and a companion paper, emphasis is placed on the diagnostic distribution of the treated population (4,636 Lebanese citizens). In Part I we deal with 1,961: individuals under care on the first day of the study, 15 February 1964, the point prevalence group. The rate is 100.5 per 100,000 or one out of a thousand citizens.
