In a specific geographical area an estimate of prevalence of psychiatric morbidility was done. The sample was divided into geriatric population-psychiatrically ill and non-ill, and non-geriatric psychiatrically ill-field based population; the last group was compared with a similar hospital based sample. The total prevalence of psychiatric illness in geriatric group was 42.21%, and neurotic depression, MDP-depressed and anxiety state were most prevalent. To no single factor could be a definitive role, such as diagnostic, etiological, therapeutic or preventive, could be attributed.
