Recording of Severe Mental Illness in United Kingdom Primary Care, 2000–2010

TLDR
The rates of GP recorded SMI in primary care records were broadly comparable to incidence rates from previous epidemiological studies of SMI and show similar patterns by socio-demographic characteristics, however there were some differences by specific diagnoses.
Abstract

However we lack information on how many people receive these different diagnoses in primary care. Primary care databases offer an opportunity to explore the recording of new SMI diagnoses in representative general practices.
