Good prescribing is essential when treating older people with psychotropic drugs, given their vulnerability to adverse drug effects and to dangerous interactions. Drug Treatment in Old Age Psychiatry is an easy-to-use concise guide, providing clinicians with valuable advice on prescribing psychotropic drugs in their day-to-day management of older patients. Covering the most recent evidence and secondary analyses in this field, this volume summarizes core knowledge and best clinical practice in 'quick reference' charts and boxes. A wide range of readers will find it invaluable. All major psychiatric disorders are covered - including depression, anxiety disorders, mania and dementia. Emphasis is given to relevant aspects such as improving compliance, the range of available drugs, their characteristics, limitations, problems commonly encountered in their use, and the importance of 'individualizing' treatment to each patient. This volume is uniquely designed to provide a practical and accessible, up-to-date resource for practising psychiatrists, psychiatrists-in-training, pharmacists and physicians in medicine for older people, and will also prove useful to nurses and psychologists working with these patients, who are increasingly involved in the practicalities of drug administration.
