Abstract
In their special report on the alleged increase of insanity, published last year, the inspectors, in alluding to the reduction in the number of first admissions, which in recent years has shown “a progressive and substantial falling off,” express the hope that “we are reaching, if we have not already reached, the highest curve of the line indicating the annual rate of insanity in this country”—a welcome piece of information. The statistics for the year 1906, when taken in connection with those of the previous few years, go far to support this view, as the figures show a general reduction all round in total admissions, first admissions, and in the increase of patients under care.
