Sumario:Fifty-two non-organic dyspeptics, 40 organic dyspeptics and 40 age-sex matched normal controls administered the Hindi version of Middlesex Health Questionnaire and the Amritsar Depressive Inventory. The non-organic cases scored significantly higher compared to the other two groups on the both the tests and on all the sub-scales of the MHQ. Cases with irritable bowel syndrome scored maximum on obsessive subscale and the remaining sub-groups (hypochondriasis, depression and hysterical neurosis) on the somatic subscale. The mean total score on MHQ was maximum in hysteria and minimum in irritable bowel syndrome.
