Antipsychotic drugs are frequently prescribed to older adults with
dementia. Dementia affects millions of older adults, causing
behavioral symptoms such as mood changes, loss of communication,
and agitation. Concerns have been raised about the use of
antipsychotic drugs to address the behavioral symptoms of the
disease, primarily due to the FDA's boxed warning that these drugs
may cause an increased risk of death when used by older adults with
dementia and the drugs are not approved for this use. This book
examines to what extent antipsychotic drugs are prescribed for
older adults with dementia living inside and outside nursing homes;
what is known from selected experts and published research about
factors contributing to the such prescribing; and to what extent
the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has taken action
to reduce the use of antipsychotic drugs by older adults with
dementia.
