Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate prevalence and patterns of psychiatric disorders in preschool children (at or below 72 months of age) consecutively referred to a state hospital’s child psychiatry outpatient clinic in Trabzon, Turkey.
Discussion and Conclusion: Findings of this study suggest that preschool children presenting to psychiatry clinics may have high rates of psychopathology and comorbidity that may be a source of concern for the subjects and parents. Boys are more likely to have multiple psychiatric diagnoses. Psychopathology in preschool children can be assessed using structured instruments such as K-SADS.
Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı bir devlet hastanesi çocuk psikiyatrisi polikliniğine başvuran okulöncesi çocuklarda psikiyatrik bozuklukların yaygınlık ve örüntülerini araştırmaktır.
