We aimed to measure proportion of Psychiatric morbidity in this population attending our Psychiatry OPD. It is a retrospective, hospital based, cross sectional, descriptive study. We found majority patients are young old age group and female. Depressive disorders and Anxiety Disorders are most common. Being Hospital based, this study lacks generalisablity to community.
