| Abstract: | This is a report, based on a one year's stay at the hospital of the Gondar College of Medical Sciences (PDR Ethiopia), on the usage of traditional therapeutic practices as described by patients of the neurologic-psychiatric department in their histories. More frequently than others, psychotic patients, patients suffering from headache, and patients complaining of fits had used traditional treatments before seeking medical help. |
