Prescribing psychotropic drugs for the elderly
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 02 January 2018
Extract
The pharmacological treatment of the elderly differs from that of younger patients, mainly because of altered pharmacokinetics and the higher proportion of patients with organic disorders. We deal here with dementia, delirium, affective disorder, late-life schizophrenia, sleep disturbance, and rapid tranquillisation.
