Popis:	Two hundred fifty institutional epileptics with concomitant psychiatric disorders were studied to correlate the effects of aging on the morbidity and prognosis of the convulsive disorder. Evidence is presented to indicate that the majority of patients with convulsive disorders tend to improve with age. Data are presented to show that in the light of our present knowledge the problem of epilepsy in our geriatric population can be managed adequately and that aged epileptic patients can expect to live normal life spans in spite of their convulsive disorders.
