Abstract
Currently it is estimated that up to 25 percent of the elderly manifest symptoms of mental disorder. The recognition of the seriousness of the problem has lead to a growing body of research in the field of geriatric mental health. This paper presents an overview of early gerontological studies of life satisfaction and morale of older persons and of the two most prevalent mental health problems of the aged, depression and dementia. Mental health service delivery and utilization issues are also considered.
