According to data of official statistic for recent decade, dynamic indices of number of newly diagnosed patients as non-psychotically disordered in Buryatia essentially is lower than analogous over East-Siberian region. Of special difference are indices of dispensary and liaison account, if as a whole for the Siberian region ratios of indices 1:2, 1:4 are noted, in Buryatia indices of liaison care are lower or equal to dispensary observation. We have conducted analysis of indices of sick rate with non-psychotic disorders depending on age and place of living in 2005. As a whole over Buryatia for total population indices of dispensary and liaison account practically do not differ, minimum indices have been documented in adults, maximum ones in adolescents of dispensary group and children of liaison group. Over Ulan-Ude indices are lower than over Republic both for general population and for adults, in group of dispensary account, but higher for adults of liaison group and for children of both groups. Indices of adolescence in dispensary group exceed 10 times the analogous index in adults. Higher indices of childhood and adolescence, in our opinion, are associated with active dispensarization of these age groups. Rarity of search for help in adults with non-psychotic disorders is to greater extent culturally conditioned. Irrespective from ethnic belonging patients with neurotic disorders, in the process of search for help, firstly seek for lamas and shamans and only after that into psychoneurological dispensary, and prefer psychotherapists to psychiatrists.
