This paper is going to investigate 108 gero-psychiatric patients with average-age of 69 +/- 10 years with overwhelming of 70- to 79-year-old persons during one annual. Data of biographic, social and disease factors and diagnostic and therapeutic methods are presented. Diagnostic main-groups are dementias and affective syndromes. At the same time existing internal disorders have a particular importance. The therapeutic concept is composed of group-methods by the side of medical and physical measures. Geropsychiatry is not dependent on "pressure of success". Nevertheless late transfer, previous history for a long time, and old age diminish possibility to improve the mental disorders.
