Examines general practitioners' awareness of depression in their elderly patients and identifies characteristics of those patients least likely to be recognised and treated. Discusses the findings and suggests that they may reflect the continued debate about the most suitable management of the elderly depressed in primary care. Stresses the need for further evaluation of appropriate treatment strategies for this group.
