Readmitted nonpsychotic patients and their eventual diagnoses. A retrospective study on 64 first-timers of inpatient care in the Psychiatric Clinic of Turku, Finland

Half of the 12 revolving door patients were psychotic at last discharge. The relative risk for diagnostic change in the Axis I group was nine times higher than in the personality disorder group.
