Collected data and diagnostic evaluations, which were made according to DSM-IV-TR criteria, were recorded on the consultation form and then transferred to a structured form. Results: Among the 244 patients (mean age: 46 ±19) referred for psychiatric consultation, 58.6% (n=143) of the patients were female and 41.4% (n=101) were male. Psychiatric consultations were most frequently requested from Internal Medicine 45.5% (n=111), Chest Diseases 10.7% (n=26), and Physical and Rehabilitation 8.6% (n=21) clinics. The most frequent causes of psychiatric consultations were depressive symptoms 24.6% (n=60), anxiety 18.4% (n=45), and suicide attempts 18% (n=60). After evaluation of the patients according to DSM-IV-TR criteria, the patients were most frequently diagnosed as adjustment disorder 28.7% (n=70),
depression 26.6% (n=65) and anxiety disorder 19.3% (n=47). 9.8% (n=24) of the cases had not received any psychiatric diagnosis.
