BACKGROUND: The psychopathological and clinical characteristics of adult @entity1 with @entity302 attending our neurology clinic were evaluated to determine prevalence of psychopathology and its associated factors towards improving services and initiating collaborative care which is currently nonexistent. METHODS: The study was a two-stage procedure conducted over 1 year using the General Health Questionnaire in the first stage and Schedule for Clinical Assessment in Neuropsychiatry in the second stage. Diagnosis of @entity146 was based on International Classification of Diseases: 10th Revision criteria. RESULTS: Sixty-three @entity1 were interviewed. Mean age was 34.43    13.7 years; more than half of the @entity1 had less than one @entity410 episode per month. Fourteen @entity1 (22.2%) had @entity302 ; 40 (63.5%), generalized; and 9 (14.3%), unclassified @entity410 . The rate of @entity146 morbidity was found to be 28.6%. @entity308 were the most common (66.7%), followed by @entity914 (11.1%), @entity148 (11.1%) and @entity303 (11.1%). Psychopathology was more common in @entity1 (P=.007), those older than 40 years (P=.038) and those with @entity302 (P=.017). CONCLUSION: About one third of @entity1 with @entity302 studied had undetected and untreated psychopathology. Our neurology clinic urgently needs currently nonexistent collaborative care involving neurologists, psychiatrists and primary care physicians in order to improve the mental health of the @entity1 with @entity302 .
