Abstract summary 

This retrospective study of 170 files from the School and University Health Center in the municipality of Plateau shows that psychiatric disorders affected students at all levels, with 72.4% of the cases involving secondary school students. Depressive disorders were most common, accounting for 49% of the cases. Almost no students (5.3%) suspended their studies during the school year. This observation contrasts with the common belief that pupils with mental disorders leave school permanently.
