One hundred patients referred to old age psychiatry services in the West Midlands and 25 patients referred to a memory clinic in Bristol with mild to moderate dementia were assessed using the GMS/HAS schedule together with a detailed inventory to assess their psychotic symptoms. On careful evaluation one patient did not have dementia. Eighty-three of the other 124 patients (66%) had a least one psychotic symptom. The frequencies of individual psychotic symptoms are described in the text.
