抄録

The population of the aged over 65 years is rapidly increasing in Japan. We are having more and more aged people who are suffering from frail body and mind. So physicians who are engaged in psychosomatic medicine should be the primary physicians for them. I consider that the prevalence of neurosis among the elderly people is quite high. The level of blood pressure of the aged is very unstable and the author demonstrated a case which revealed elevation of his blood pressure during watching the television of his favourite sumo wrestler. Encouragement of the aged is to let them live in more pleasant life and let them understand the following remarks : "Now that we've added years to people's lives, it is also our responsibility to add life to their years"(Dr. Howard A. Rusk). It is our job to let the dying patients close their eyes in gentle way with the mind of aequanimitas. I consider that the psychosomatic medicine should also be supported by primary care medicine and holistic medicine.
