Abstract :

The prevalence of psychiatric disorders in patients is a very common issue that often goes neglected especially in public sector hospital settings in Pakistan. Sometimes, physical disability may cause stress in patients leading to mental disorders, but somatic symptoms that lead to a referral to medical and surgical departments may be a manifestation of anxiety or depressive states and have no basis in organic pathology. Any physical illness accompanied by depression may result in complications such as complicated clinical presentation, a poor response to treatment, and, frequently, unnecessary investigation and referral to other departments of the hospital are results of depression that takes place alongside any physical illness.
