Medical issues typically presented by seniors, disabilities that
accompany the aging process, and nursing home situations are
addressed throughout so as to give clinicians the facts they need
to work with elderly clients. All major drug classes receive
comprehensive coverage: antidepressants, antipsychotics,
anxiolytics, mood stabilizers, and cognitive enhancers. For each
class, Sadavoy addresses the impact that changes in human
physiology have on the standard directives for prescription and the
necessary warnings regarding side effects and cross-indication. A
wide range of disorders is addressed with particular emphasis on
disturbances and disorders that are encountered when treating the
mental health of the elderly: Alzheimer's Disease and other forms
of dementia, behavioral disturbances, anxiety and depression, mania
and other mood disorders, and various forms and presentations of
psychosis. The comprehensive presentation of dispensing directions
is rigorously based on the most current research and accepted
clinical practice. Psychotropic Drugs and the Elderly: Fast Facts
is organized in the same format as Norton's other titles in the
highly successful "Fast Facts" series with individual chapters
devoted to classes of medications and all critical information
presented in easy-to-read tables and charts. With authoritative
content and a well-planned presentation, this handy guide is
essential reading for physicians, psychogeriatricians and all
mental health professionals who treat the elderly.
