[Clinical diagnosis of functional syndromes in elderly patients].
At elderly people with acute functional symptomatologies it is often difficult to make an accurate diagnosis, because the exclusion of somatic diseases as well as finding out the psychic problems forming the base of the symptomatology are more complicated in higher age. Clinical diagnostics can be improved, if attention is given to the impressions the different members of the hospital staff get from the patients' behaviour in order to ensure an extensive and integrating assessment of all somatic and psychic findings.
