Abstract
Ninetyβfour patients on geriatric wards were examined as part of a study of prevalence of psychiatric disorders in elderly inpatients. A good correlation was found between depression measured on the HAD and on the MontgomeryβAsberg scale. Lower, but still highly significant correlations were found between anxiety measured on the HAD and on the brief anxiety scale (BRAS), between anxiety on the selfβrating anxiety scale (SRAS) and the BRAS, and between anxiety on the HAD and the SRAS.
