✦ Synopsis

In this study depressed elderly respondents were found to be more dissatisfied with their level of emotional and practical support than were non-depressed respondents. However, unlike the findings obtained with younger populations, the depressed elderly subgroup were not found to have higher levels for the ideal amounts of support that they would like and, in fact, the majority of the elderly were satisfied with the level of social support that they received.

KEY woms--Social support, postal survey, general practice.
