title: [Senile depression in everyday medical practice].
abstract: The authors suggest that though the prevalence of depressive disorders among people over 65 is high, it is not diagnosed in many cases. They give different rating scales and symptom-lists, which can help the diagnostic procedure. It is pointed out that, according to the etiologic factors, the mood disorders of elderly people form together the clinical picture. The modern pharmaco- and physiotherapeutic treatments of depression are briefly discussed, too. The authors emphasize, that the depression of the elderly can be treated efficiently.
