Patients of senior age groups have a normal level of nervousness on a scale of situational nervousness, and women of advanced age and patients of the control group have an increased level of nervousness on a scale of personal nervousness. Gender differences on a scale of personal nervousness are revealed. Frustrations of the depressive range are noted in assessing depressive status in all age and gender groups.
