Psychiatric knowledge & orientation of non-psychiatrist doctors.

52 Non-psychiatrist doctors were evaluated in order to know their psychiatric orientation with the help of clinical case history along with questionnaire. Only one doctor subject could give all the diagnosis correctly on the basis of clinical stories; on the other hand all the doctors gave the diagnosis of epilepsy correctly. This reflects basic lack of understanding of psychiatry resulting from poor theoretical teaching and exposure at undergraduate level. Other characteristics of the sample and finding are discussed here.
