Attenders (n = 124, response rate 84%) of five GPs in Montpellier completed questionnaires on health (reason for visit, cause of problem, GHQ-12), disability (WHODAS II) and service use (CSRI). For each patient, the GP filled in a brief form including a rating of severity of physical and psychological illness. Overall 30.6% of patients were classified as GHQ cases indicating probable non-psychotic psychiatric morbidity and 58.9% were rated as having a physical illness by the GP. Patients with psychiatric morbidity showed as high levels of disability as those with a physical illness, with however a greater number of domains of life affected. They also had a greatly increased number of disability days and used services to a greater extent than those without psychiatric morbidity, these links being stronger than with physical illness. Use of the WHODAS II and the CSRI has not been previously reported in France. This study shows that they could be useful instruments for depicting disability and service use in general practice. The findings from this initial study indicate the need for greater research in primary care focusing on accurate detection and treatment of patients so that disability and excess service use associated with psychiatric morbidity might be reduced.
