Abstract
After years of neglect, clinical research into late-life mental disord ers is receiving the attention it deserves. Geriatric psychiatry is a growing field and the insights gained from research in this area have improved the diagnosis and treatment of mental illness in older person s. The challenge for the future is to continue to maintain a leadershi p role in mental health while working within the constraints of the ma naged care system in the United States.
