| Annotation | While the National Service Framework for Older People (NSF) has highlighted depression as an important disorder that merits special consideration, anxiety and psychoses in older people remain difficult problems for general practitioners (GPs) to manage. This paper reviews the prevalence and impact, recognition, complexity, and prognosis and treatment for these three clinical problems, and proposes a framework for 'good enough practice'. (RH). |
