| Annotation | This book brings together brings together scientists from the field of neuropsychopharmacology, psychiatry, neurology, and general medicine to discuss recent progress in the treatment of mental disorders in older patients. Emphasis is placed on the problem of the psychopharmacological treatment of older adults since several factors can complicate the management of older patient, including increased medical comorbidity and polypharmacy, well-established pharmacokinetic differences and poorly characterised pharmacodynamic changes. Topics covered include: bipolar and unipolar depressive disorders; treatment of psychiatric symptoms associated with neurological disorders in older people; old and new antidepressants; cardiovascular aspects in the treatment of older depressed patients; anxiety disorders in later life; cognitive impairment; management of non-cognitive symptoms in dementia with Lewy bodies; Alzheimer's disease; antipsychotics in older people; late-onset schizophrenia; behaviourally disturbed older people; and care costs of mental disorders in older people.
