    Area of Science:

    • Geriatric Psychiatry
    • Clinical Psychology
    • Neuropsychology

    Context:

    • Executive functions (EF) decline with age, impacting mental health in older adults.
    • Previous research highlights EF's role in depression, anxiety, and PTSD in the elderly.

    Purpose:

    • To investigate the clinical significance of reduced executive functions in elderly patients with mental illnesses.
    • To compare EF in middle-aged and older adults with and without psychological stress.

    Summary:

    • Older adults and mentally ill patients exhibited poorer executive function performance.
    • Associations between symptoms and executive functions were significant only in the elderly sample.

    Impact:

    • Impaired executive functions represent a clinically relevant factor in the psychotherapy of elderly individuals.
    • Findings underscore the need to consider executive function deficits in geriatric mental healthcare.
