Psychiatric and Electro-Encephalographic Studies in Socially Adjusted Old People

From the Department of Clinical Research, Crichton Royal, Dumfries

ABSTRACT

Fifty-five volunteers from an Old People's Club were subjected to psychiatric and EEG examination. In thirty-seven there was no evidence of intellectual impairment. In fifteen there were signs of a very minor degree of impairment. There were thirty-four who had normal EEGs and fifteen who had abnormal EEGs. The distribution of psychiatric and EEG normality and abnormality was found to correlate significantly.
