WASHINGTON — Senior citizens have high rates of mental illness and the country's highest suicide rate when compared with other age groups, a panel of mental health experts told a congressional committee Thursday. Appearing before the Senate Special Committee on Aging, the experts said poor access to mental health care, inadequate training for primary care physicians and even apathy among seniors was contributing to a growing mental health crisis among those older than 65. Seniors account for a fifth of all suicides -- many by firearms; nearly 40% show signs of depression, but only about 3% seek psychological help, the experts testified. "I think you could probably characterize the situation as a national embarrassment," said psychologist David Shern, president and chief executive of the National Mental Health Assn. , an advocacy group in Alexandria, Va. Fewer than half of all adults with symptoms of depression are screened accurately by their primary care physicians, he said, urging changes in clinical and training practices. He also called for more research funding to study suicide risks among the elderly -- a view that all of the panel's experts endorsed. Dr David C.

The report dismissed allegations that had been raised last year by a former employee who said that researchers routinely abused monkeys at the university's primate research center. In the report, campus investigators called the allegations "unfounded, out of context or too vague to be pursued properly. ""Our initial reaction to these claims was that they were baseless, but I nonetheless felt it appropriate to request an investigation," center director Dallas Hyde said in a statement. Cheri Stevens, a former animal care technician at the California National Primate Research Center, said seven monkeys died in the summer of 2004 after the building's ventilation system failed. She said officials did not respond to her requests that the monkeys be moved even though the room's temperature reached 115 degrees. Stevens, speaking last fall at a news conference that had been convened by the activist group Stop Animal Exploitation Now!, also complained of routine mistreatment and starvation of the monkeys. Michael Budkie, the executive director of the Ohio-based group, called the UC Davis report a whitewash and said that better national oversight of primate research was needed. "To begin with, the people that are conducting this investigation are the very people who would be on some level at fault if there was any admission of impropriety," Budkie said.

Department of Justice grant program. This year, based on estimates of how much the department's crime lab could spend and its anticipated need, LAPD officials had expected a grant of well more than $900,000. Inaccurate paperwork compiled for the grant application by an "overzealous" administrator, however, painted a skewed portrait of a police department slow to spend funds it had already received, said Sharon Papa, an LAPD assistant chief. The employee refused to close the department accounting books that detailed its 2005 grant money because she could not immediately account for a few thousand dollars awarded that year. That led Justice Department officials to think that the LAPD was far off pace on its spending and to award the department $435,860 this year, or $498,570 less than expected, according to a Justice Department spokeswoman.
