Abstract
The association of physical illness and psychiatric illness has been found by Doust (1952), Downes and Simon (1953), Hinkle and Woolf (1957) and others.The present investigation was conducted in a general practice; the aim was to assess whether a physical illness could precipitate psychiatric ill health. The conditions in general practice appeared to be suitable for this investigation because patients can be observed before and after a physical illness.Keywords
