[Psychiatric consultations in school settings: 170 cases at a school and university health center (CSSU) from 1995 through 2001].

This retrospective study of 170 files from the School and University Health Center in the municipality of Plateau shows that psychiatric disorders affected students at all levels, with 72.4% of the cases involving secondary school students. Depressive disorders were most common, accounting for 49% of the cases. Almost no students (5.3%) suspended their studies during the school year. This observation contrasts with the common belief that pupils with mental disorders leave school permanently.
