Evaluation of Disability Rates and Psychiatric Disorders in Patients Applying to the Disability Health Board

Öz

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the distribution of psychiatric disorders, disability rates, and total dependency status among adult individuals applying to the Disability Health Board of Burdur State Hospital. Methods: A retrospective review was conducted on 2322 individuals who applied between January 1, 2024, and December 31, 2025. Psychiatric diagnoses were classified according to ICD-11, and the National Regulation on Disability Assessment for Adults was used as the reference framework. Data were analysed using SPSS version 27.0. Results: The mean age of participants was 59.9±19.9 years, and 54.5% were male. Psychiatric disorders were identified in 25.5% of the participants. The most common psychiatric diagnosis group was anxiety disorders (35.3%), followed by intellectual disabilities (30.9%) and schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders (11.3%). Among individuals with psychiatric diagnoses, 59.8% were male. Anxiety disorders (40.3%) and mood disorders (18.5%) were more prevalent in females, whereas schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders (14.1%) were more frequent in males. Among individuals classified as totally dependent, the most common psychiatric diagnosis was intellectual disability (61.5%), followed by psychotic disorders (22.2%). All individuals with severe and profound intellectual disability were classified as totally dependent. Conclusion: Psychiatric disorders represent an important proportion of disability health board applications, and intellectual disabilities and schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders are key determinants of total dependency decisions.
