An attempt had been made on the status of the psychoneurotic patients who visited the out-patient clinic of the Konodai National Hospital during the year of 1963.
The following results were obtained:
1) The 25-29 years old of the both sexes were found more frequently than those in other age groups. Female patients in climacteric period, however, were noticed having the second peak in the frequency of those, but that was not observed among the male.
2) Among the patients who indicated the above were reported to the clinic by somatic complaints more psychological symptoms. Therefore, the most of cases were seen by the non-psychiatric physician prior to their visit.
3) Reexamination upon the psychotherapy for the neurotics were needed.
4) The parallel use of the pharmacotherapy and the psychotherapy were noticeably effective for increasing frequency of their visits.
5) There were several types in frequency of hospital visit among the patients.
These types showed some important correlation with the patients' readjustment after their discharge.
6) The hospitalization itself has given a good influence in many ways on their condition even after discharge.
