From the author of the leading textbook on geriatric psychopharmacology, this up-to-the-minute guide is designed for physicians and other caregivers who work with older adults in a range of settings. It will be particularly useful for those who are called upon to treat such problems as agitation in the nursing home, late-life depression and anxiety, memory impairment, and sleep difficulties. The book provides chapter-by-chapter coverage of how to recognize and treat specific conditions.

Practical advice is presented on choosing medications, determining dosages, anticipating side effects, and recognizing when symptoms may caused by normal aging or physical illness.
