title: [Global approach to mental healthcare for the elderly].
abstract: Mental health must be distinguished from the medical discipline of psychiatry, especially with regard to elderly patients, for whom, all too often, the care approach consists in admission to an institution. All sectors of psychiatry must be concerned by the mental health of the elderly.
