As part of a major study on the prevalence of mental disorders in Puerto Rico, this paper describes the mental health care utilization patterns of persons with a DIS/DSM-III disorder within the last year. The main findings of this analysis show that (a) There is a high rate of health service utilization, (b) The public sector is the main provider of services, (c) People with a DIS disorder tend to resort to the non-psychiatric physician, (d) People with alcohol abuse and/or dependence tend to use the services of general practitioners while schizophrenics, somatizers, and people with cognitive impairment tend to apply for the services of mental health specialists. Seeking help from other sources such as clergymen or spiritualists does not substitute the use of health services.
