Abstract
Fifty cases attending a walk-in psychiatric emergency clinic with alcohol-related problems were studied retrospectively. Results confirm that this group represents a sizeable load on the clinic – about 15% of all assessments. Other psychiatric problems were common, and many patients had recently attempted or threatened suicide.This publication has 8 references indexed in Scilit:
