Abstract

One hundred and thirty‐one patients came to the Institute of Biological Psychiatry at Bangor, accompanied by 161 healthy blood relatives, spouses and friends. A history was taken and a diagnosis of schizophrenia was made using DSM IIIR criteria. The patients were examined to see if they had any concurrent physical disease. Venous blood samples were taken for measurements of chemical constituents believed to be involved in schizophrenia. The population of patients is described, and the views of the patients and their relatives were noted. Recommendations are made about how provision for patients might be improved.
