Abstract
This paper updates a previous review of the topic published in this series in 1992. There are no major advances in knowledge, understanding or treatment to report, but there has been a steady growth in interest, articles, chapters and textbooks dealing with neurotic disorders in the elderly, which is an encouraging sign that these common, disabling and treatable conditions are now being taken more seriously by health professionals.
