    Abstract:
    Fifty two outpatients, who showed signs of school-refusal-withdrawal at the Shiga Prefectural Psychiatric Institution have been analyzed according to their age, gender, ICD-10 diagnosis, medical evolution, and total number of consultations. A total of 61.5% of the population were male, and they showed a higher average and a wider range of age than female patients. According to the ICD-10 diagnosis, 67.3% were in the group of F40-48 neurotic, stress-related and somatoform disorders, and 11.5% were in the group of F30-39 mood [affective] disorders. Twenty five % of the patients were assumed to have show medical improvement, and 42.3% of the patients continued to have further consultations. This article discusses the possible role of psychiatric medical institutions in supporting cases of school-refusal and social-withdrawal.
