Abstract

A retrospective study of 463 medical and social service records of patients with AIDS, ARC and minimally symptomatic individuals was conducted to examine mental health services delivered by primary medical care providers. A substantial minority of patients in all three groups had a psychiatric diagnosis and were prescribed psychotropic medications. Recognition of psychiatric complications varied by ethnicity and socioeconomic status.
