| Abstract |
There is a lack of information regarding the prevalence and co-occurrence of personality disorders, psychotic disorders and affective disorders amongst patients seen by community mental health teams. This study aims to describe the population of patients served by a community mental health team in South London in terms of demographic and clinical characteristics. Computerised hospital records and keyworkers' caseloads were used to identify 193 patients. The Standardised Assessment of Personality was used to assess personality disorders and the Operationalised Criteria Checklist was used to assess psychotic and affective disorders. Fifty-two per cent of patients met the criteria for one or more personality disorders, 67 % of patients had a psychotic illness and 23 % had a diagnosis of a depressive disorder. Community psychiatric nurses (CPNs) mainly saw patients with psychotic illnesses. The non-psychotic patients seen by CPNs had extremely high rates of personality disorder. Patients seen by psychiatrists and psychologists had significantly lower rates of personality disorder. The prevalence of personality disorder is high amongst patients seen by community mental health teams. Possible explanations for this are presented and implications for community care are discussed. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 11. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 16 January 2023.
All research outputs
#2,981,216
of 23,794,258 outputs
Outputs from Social Psychiatry and Psychiatric Epidemiology
#572
of 2,534 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#36,010
of 311,499 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Social Psychiatry and Psychiatric Epidemiology
#19
of 61 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,794,258 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 87th percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,534 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 13.9. This one has done well, scoring higher than 77% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 311,499 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 88% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 61 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 68% of its contemporaries.
