| Abstrakt: | Aims: The objectives were to determine the prevalence of psychiatric emergencies and establish the sociodemographic and clinical characteristics of these patients. Methodology: Our work was set in the Clinic of Psychiatry and Medical Psychology and Medical Emergency Service of the University Hospital S. Olympio. It was a prospective study including a descriptive and analytical focus involving patients admitted from January 1 to December 31, 2013. Results: The frequency was 5,52% of the patients. The average age of the patients was of 36.12±12.3 years with ranging from 14 to 87 years old. The sex-ratio was 0,45. Married or cohabitating patients were the most represented with 50.91%. The informal lower sector was the most affected (46.18%). The length of consultation was of 8.47±16.6 days. Acute and passing psychotic disorders, the reaction to severe adaptation stress and dissociative behaviors were respectively diagnosed for 39.64%, 33.45% and 6.55% of patients. Conclusion: Despite its low frequency, the knowledge of the profile of the users of the emergency service for mental disorders and their relative difficulties were necessary for the organization of good care management.
