Abstract: Persons claiming physical disability who were evaluated at a primary care health center in a small southern city were administered the Diagnostic Interview Schedule. Fifty-six per cent of the 43 patients were found to have one or more psychiatric disorders. The relationship between physical disability and psychiatric disorders needs to be recognized in the disability evaluation system.
