More women than men were referred to the service; the mean age of the patients seen was 27.3 ± 13.4 years. The majority of referred patients were single and unemployed. The most common reasons for referral were depression, suicidal ideation, suicide attempts and family problems. The major diagnoses made were adjustment reactions and depressive disorders.
