    Author: Teufel-Maier L, Schulze M, Schmauss M, Messer T.
    Journal: Psychiatr Prax; 2004 Nov; 31 Suppl 1():S24-5. PubMed ID: 15570491.
    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: A new concept for the out-patient clinic for environmental diseases (Umweltambulanz) of Augsburg central hospital was devised in July 1999. METHOD: By April 2003 441 patients with environment-related disorders were examined. In a retrospective analysis the proportion and type of mental disorders were assessed as well as acceptance of the psychiatric therapy recommended. RESULTS: 5 % of patients received a psychiatric diagnosis - in most cases a somatoform disorder. Half of the patients did not accept the therapy recommended. CONCLUSIONS: In contrast to other studies the prevalence of mental disorders is low and has therefore to be discussed critically.
