The adult epidemiological finding that mental disorders have early ages of onset has created interest in the minds of psychiatrists. Children and adolescents are at high risk of developing mental disorders.

Aim & objective: we are aimed at to conduct of this study was to know the overall incidence and prevalence rate of various Psychiatric disorders in the Psychiatric department of teaching based hospitals and the objective of the study is to find out the incidence and prevalence of the predominant psychiatric disorder.

Results: A total of 500 Patients we are included in our study, males are 293(59%) and Females are 207 (41%). Depression shows the highest incidence of 7.0%. Schizophrenia shows the highest prevalence (17.6%) Chi-Square analysis indicated no significant difference in prevalence between the number of males and females. There were no significant differences among the prevalence rates among the participants who belonged to middle-class urban and rural areas.
