一位研究精神病学家通过标准化访谈发现，根据 DSM-III 标准，在大型中级护理疗养院随机抽样的居民中，94% 患有精神障碍。原发性退行性痴呆和多发性梗塞性痴呆是最常见的诊断。此外，大多数痴呆患者还存在非认知症状，例如妄想和幻觉，这些居民比没有妄想或幻觉的居民更有可能出现相关的行为障碍。这些结果的重复将指出需要对疗养院居民的精神科护理的资金和提供进行重大修改。
A research psychiatrist using a standardized interview found that 94% of a random sample of residents at a large, intermediate-care nursing home had mental disorders according to DSM-III criteria. Primary degenerative dementia and multi-infarct dementia were the most common diagnoses. In addition, the majority of demented patients also had noncognitive symptoms such as delusions and hallucinations, and these residents were significantly more likely to have an associated behavioral disorder than were residents without delusions or hallucinations. Replications of these results would point out the need for major revisions in the funding and delivery of psychiatric care for nursing home residents.
