ABSTRACT
Psychiatric morbidity patterns in preschool children attending a general hospital psychiatric clinic were studied. No psychiatric problem was detected in 48% of the sample, epilepsy being the diagnosis in more than half of these children. Common psychiatric problems were mental retardation (27%), breath-holding spells (11%) and hyperkinetic syndrome (7%). Emotional and behavioral problems, and habit disorders, which are quite common in this age group, were poorly represented in the clinic sample. It appears that mental retardation and epilepsy are the only two main disorders usually perceived by Indian parents as psychiatric problems in preschool age group.
