Abstract
Ninety-four patients on geriatric wards were examined as part of a stu dy of prevalence of psychiatric disorders in elderly inpatients. A goo d correlation was found between depression measured on the HAD and on the Montgomery-Asberg scale. Lower, but still highly significant corre lations were found between anxiety measured on the HAD and on the brie f anxiety scale (BRAS), between anxiety on the self-rating anxiety sca le (SRAS) and the BRAS, and between anxiety on the HAD and the SRAS.
