ABSTRACT
To evaluate the role of psychiatric illness in patients with chronic abdominal pain, 50 patients with this symptom were subjected to thorough clinical examination, detailed investigations and Goldberg's 60-item General Health Questionnaire. Those scoring 12 in this questionnaire were subjected to a detailed psychiatric evaluation. Sixteen (32%) patients had pure organic illnesses, 8 (16%) had organic illness with associated psychiatric factors and 26 (52%) had definite psychiatric illness. We conclude that chronic abdominal pain is often associated with psychiatric illness.
