Social Psychiatry and Psychiatric Epidemiology, 06/30/09
Newton-Howes G et al. - Comorbid personality pathology contributes greatly to overall psychopathology in secondary psychiatric care. It should be both recognised and managed.
Methods- A cross-sectional survey of 2,528 of 2,567 psychiatric patients (98.5%) managed by community mental health teams in four urban settings in the UK in which diagnoses of personality and mental state pathology were assessed separately.
- Of these, a sample of 400 was interviewed, with a 70.5% completion rate for more in depth information.
- In total, 40% of all patients in secondary care suffered from at least one personality disorder.
- Regression modelling showed personality pathology accounted for a greater degree of global psychopathology than psychosis, alcohol or drug dependence, but was associated with anxiety disorders.
