During 2009–2011, these includedschizophrenia and other psychotic disorders, depression, bipolar disorder and other mooddisorders and personality disorders (Table 106). When compared to the paediatricpopulation, it is likely that very few young people with these diagnoses would have theircare managed primarily in the paediatric outpatient setting (which is not captured byPRIMHD) and thus the extent to which PRIMHD undercounts access to services for youngpeople with these diagnosis is likely to be less than in the previous sections.Access to Mental Health Services in Young People - 399
