✦ Synopsis

This community study of the anxiety disorders in people aged 65 and over finds a relatively high prevalence of anxiety disorders ( lS0/,), with phobic disorders being the most prevalent subclassification (12%). While generalized anxiety was usually seen with other psychiatric syndromes, phobic disorder was usually observed in the absence of either depression or anxiety. These results suggest that while generalized anxiety should be placed below depression in a diagnostic hierarchy, phobic disorder does not fit with this diagnostic model. KEY wom-anxiety;
