ABSTRACT
A door to door survey was conducted to study the spectrum of psychiatric symptomatology in children aged 1-12 years belonging to high and low socio-economic groups. One hundred families in each group were studied. Symptom prevalence rate was comparable in the two groups, i.e., 479/1000 in the high socio-economic (HSE) group and 487/1000 in the low socio-economic (LSE) group. However, there were significant differences in the spectrum of symptomatology. Symptoms like quarrelsomeness, disobedience, abusive language, stealing, truancy, pica, school refusal, enuresis, mental subnormality and poor scholastic performance were significantly more in the LSE group. In the HSE group, symptoms like nail biting, food refusal, food fads and temper tantrums were significantly more.
