Seventy-six patients with endogenous subdepression were observed and treated by a regional out-patient gerontopsychiatric unit. Roughly a half of those seeing the doctor had subdepression. General principles of therapy are designed for endogenous subdepression in senile patients. The data suggest their efficient treatment with antidepressants and tranquilizers depending on syndromal or nosologic origin of the depression.
