Abstract
Psychiatric disorders constitute frequent causes of emergency department (ED) admissions and these rates are increasing.

We aimed: (1) to provide a descriptive picture of the socio-demographic and diagnostic characteristics of the visits among adults at the psychiatric ED; (2) to estimate the clinical pertinence of these visits.
