[The effect of treatment on performance and self-appraisal in geriatric patients (author's transl)].
On the background of the wellknown favorable effects on the social behavior, mood and activation, a six-week treatment with Hydergin of 34 inhabitants of an old people's home led to a significant improvement in the results of psychometric performance tests and to a realistic self-appraisal with consequent greater adaptation. Hydergin was thus shown to be distinctly superior in its observed favorable therapeutic effects to chlordiazepoxide which sometimes rather intensifies the unrealistic self-appraisal of people living in old people's homes.
