Abstract

Objective: Considering the increasing rate of aged population in IRAN and also high prevalence of PSYCHIATRIC DISORDERS in this group, assessment of demographical and epidemiological studies of PSYCHIATRIC DISORDERS in subjects 59 years or older in Ekbatan district of Tehran was the aim of this study.Materials and Methods: The subjects were selected randomly from 1422 subjects 59 years or older, who lived in Ekbatan district of Tehran.Finally 204 subjects were enrolled and completed the General Health Questionnaire and Geriatric Depression scale. Then 104 subjects were selected randomly and interviewed by Composite International Diagnosis Interview to validate PSYCHIATRIC DISORDERS.Results: The life time prevalence for all PSYCHIATRIC DISORDERS in this study was 36.9% and the period prevalence was 18.5%.25.2% of subjects had only one psychiatric disorder and 6.8% and 2.9% of them had "two" and "three or more PSYCHIATRIC DISORDERS", respectively. The most prevalent PSYCHIATRIC DISORDERS were Major depressive disorder, Dysthymic disorder, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and Post- Traumatic Stress Disorder.Conclusion: The results of this study revealed that some PSYCHIATRIC DISORDERS in IRANian GERIATRIC POPULATION are common and in some respects, this is non-concordant with other study results. It seems that these results can be helpful for mental health services.
