รายละเอียด / Details:

Interest in university mental health has increased rapidly in recent years. The authors have studied the Chiangmai University students who came to seek psychiatric help at the health service and the psychiatric clinic of Chiangmai Hospital from 1963 to 1967. The total number of these students is 441. The result shows that 42 per cent have psycho physiologic disorders (especially tension or psychogenic headache), 31 per cent neurotic disorders, 9 per cent adjustment reactions, 6 per cent psychotic disorders, 6 per cent personality disorders and others. These psychological problems more or less disturb the study and academic performance of student patients. Approximately 15 students have to drop some or total courses or to postpone the examination due to their psychiatric disorders and about 7 students have to be hospitalized annually. The dropout rate among these students are low since from 1963-1967 there are only 8 students. However, it is found out that about 40 per cent of them fail to graduate in four years (or in six years for some of the curricula in health sciences, such as medicine, pharmacy or dentistry). The great majority of students who seeks help from psychiatrist do so because they have one or more of the various manifestations of anxiety or depression severe enough to impair their academic efficiency. Such symptoms usually result from disturbed interpersonal relations with their families and friends, preoccupation with sexual problems or conflicts arising from strong contrasts between the ideals and values in their home communities and those prevailing in university. Some aspects of university mental health are limited to psychiatrists or, in some instances, to other physicians: evaluating the physical component of emotional stress, prescribing drugs, and admitting patients to hospital, although the majority of such services are rendered by psychologists, social workers and others.
