Differences in Cognitive Status between Healthy, Psychiatrically Ill, and Diffusely Brain-damaged Elderly Subjects

DONALD C. KENDRICK B.A., Ph.D., Dipl.Psych.1 and F. POST M.B., B.S., F.R.C.P., D.P.M.1

1 Institute of Psychiatry, Maudsley Hospital, London, S.E.5

Comparisons have been made on psychometric tests administered three times over a three month period at six weekly intervals between elderly subjects in normal health and those suffering from a depressive illness or chronic brain syndrome. The results show that the brain-damaged subjects are clearly differentiated from the other subjects. Normal and depressed subjects are not differentiated by the tests, and no deleterious effects of E.C.T. or Tofranil could be demonstrated.
