The principles described here are not new; advice for prescribing to the aging patient has always been to ?start low, go slow.? This book fleshes out that dictum based on research evidence, clinical experience, and trends in the literature. An age-adjusted approach endorses medication interventions when needed as part of a comprehensive treatment plan. A combination of psychotherapeutic interventions, non-pharmacological modalities, and judiciously managed medications can improve quality of life and minimize risks inherent in pharmacotherapy applied to aging physiology. Age-Adjusted Psychiatric Treatment for the Older Patient is divided into five sections, covering the foundations of evaluation and treatment, neurocognitive disorders, psychiatric syndromes, therapeutics and interventions, and special topics. Each chapter begins with a complex case example that illustrates the topic. It then reviews current evidence-based evaluation and treatments. Age-adjusted recommendations, distilled from the literature, are offered at the end of each chapter. The intent is to provide actionable advice to supplement, but not supplant, good clinical judgement, which can improve quality of life by managing psychiatric symptomatology while averting untoward results. This volume is an essential guide for experienced clinicians as well as trainees across many health care disciplines, both generalists and geriatric specialists, who all see increasing numbers of aged patients with psychiatric symptomatology. 606 $aPsychiatry 606 $aGeriatrics 606 $aPsychiatry 606 $aGeriatrics 615 0$aPsychiatry. 615 0$aGeriatrics. 615 14$aPsychiatry. 615 24$aGeriatrics. 676 $a618.97689 702 $aFenn$b Howard H. 702 $aBourgeois$b James 702 $aFenn$b Catharine Birtley 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910865269303321 996 $aAge-Adjusted Psychiatric Treatment for the Older Patient$94230436 997 $aUNINA
