Also included are unique quick-reference summaries of prescribing data on selected drugs in each class. -The introduction focuses on the essentials of geriatric pharmacokinetics and a general approach to geriatric prescribing, offering guidelines on how to improve compliance in the elderly. -The next four chapters each cover a major psychotropic class of medicationsAantipsychotics, antidepressants, mood stabilizers, and anxiolytic and sedative-hypnotic medicationsAincluding information about pharmacology (baseline labs), clinical use (drug titration), side effects, and treatment. Here, at the end of each of these chapters, you'll find the unique Aquick-referenceA summaries of prescribing data for selected drugs in each class. -Also detailed here are three critical areas of geriatric psychopharmacologyAtreatment of substance-related disorders, movement disorders, and dementias and other cognitive syndromesAareas that do not fit well into the traditional organization of psychopharmacology books and that therefore have seldom been the subject of in-depth discussions elsewhere in the literature.
Written for residents, fellows, and clinicians in psychiatry and medicine who diagnose and treat psychiatric and neuropsychiatric conditions that can affect geriatric patients, this clinical reference can be used across all treatment settings for the elderly (inpatient, outpatient, day hospital, consultation, and nursing homes). Geriatric and general psychiatrists, geriatric medical specialists, internists and family practitioners, medical students and residents, and case managers and social workers will all rely on this handy guide for the critical information needed to provide optimal care for our fast-growing population of elderly patients.
