An epidemiological survey was carried out, amongst psychiatrists, general practitioners, social workers and liberal nurses, with a double aim. To determine the number of psychiatric cases followed or identified; these were classified according to DSMIII criteria (simplified for use by those interviewers little used to psychiatric jargon), essentially: dementia, depression, schizophrenia, other psychosis, other cases (neurosis, substance abuse, alcoholism). Another aim was to determine how the psychiatric care facilities were perceived and used by the person's interviewed. The results reveal a lack of information on their part, despite pst information given by us (systematic misappreciation?); as well as the lack of a desire to collaborate: the practitioners address their patients to the public health service (and preferentially for full-time hospitalisation) when they feel the case is beyond them.
