Abstract
Abstract 1. (1) A total of 2068 male psychiatric patients were investigated for a history of peptic ulcer, and the results compared with findings in a similar survey of actively working men. 2. (2) After correction for age, the incidence of peptic ulcer was found to be lower amongst psychotics and higher amongst neurotics than in mentally normal men. 3. (3) The low incidence amongst psychotics was found to be almost entirely due to the very low incidence amongst schizophrenics. 4. (4) Amongst the neurotics the highest incidence was in those that were depressed. 5. (5) There is a high incidence of peptic ulcer amongst alcoholic addicts. 6. (6) There is a high incidence of peptic ulcer amongst patients suffering from asthma.
