    Abstract

    Cobalamin/folate deficiency may lead to neuropsychiatric symptoms. This review summarizes present findings concerning the different markers for cobalamin/folate deficiency in psychogeriatric patients. These findings suggest the use of plasma homocysteine, serum cobalamin and serum folate to evaluate cobalamin/folate status in psychogeriatric patients, whereas the use of serum methylmalonic acid and whole blood folate could be omitted.
