AGECAT

Welcome to the AGECAT home page.

AGECAT is a computerised diagnostic system for use with the Geriatric Mental State (GMS), a semi-structured interview for use with older people. It provides syndrome diagnoses of: organicity, schizophrenia, mania, depression, anxiety, obsessional disorder, phobia, and hypochondriasis. It then provides a differential diagnosis. Used in conjunction with the History and Aetiology Schedule it provides subtyping of dementia.
