Psychiatric epidemiology is a field which seeks to measure the prevalence of mental illness in society. It is a subfield of the more general epidemiology . It is very difficult to accurately measure such a thing as mental illness prevalence, and current techniques are relatively poor. Two areas of concern, sometimes called the crisis of psychiatric epidemiology today, are the high estimates of mental illness that many studies produce and the difference in results between studies. How studies are conducted The common technique for psychiatric epidemiological research today is structured interviewing , a technique in which a series of questions is administered by lay interviewers to determine whether an individual is disordered or nondisordered. Concerns of epidemiological research Clinical versus actual prevalence Clinical prevalence is a measure of how many people who seek out mental health services are actually diagnosed with a mental illness, whereas actual prevalence is the number of people in all of society who have a mental illness. It is much easier to study clinical prevalence because people with mental illness are identified by receiving a diagnosis, but epidemiologists are most interested in actual prevalence. To that end, efforts are continually made to improve research techniques in order to better estimate the actual prevalence of mental illness. Sensitivity and specificity Another concern of psychiatric epidemiological studies are the issues of sensitivity and specificity . Sensitivity is a measure of how well a given selection criteria detects all of the people with a specific mental illness. Specificity is a measure of how well the technique identifies people with a mental illness without falsely identifying people without a mental illness. Validity and reliability ... Press, 1999.

A psychiatric history is the result of a medical process where a clinician working in the field of mental health usually a psychiatrist systematically records the content of an interview with a patient. This is then combined with the mental status examination to produce a psychiatric formulation of the person being examined. Psychologist s take a similar history, often referred to as a psychological history . This article mainly covers the initial assessment history taking of a patient presenting for the first time with a new complaint. Background In the field of medicine a patient history is an account of the significant events in the patient s life that have a relevance to the issue being addressed. The clinician taking the history guides the process in an attempt to achieve a succinct summary of these relevant details. Much of the history is obtained by asking questions. Some of these questions are quite specific, such as, How old are you? and others are more open, such as, How have you been feeling lately? Although the structure of the interview may appear disjointed, the end result is usually under a set of headings which have a worldwide similarity.
