Neuropsychiatric Syndromes in the Elderly: Pharmacologic Management

  • Chapter

  • 40 Accesses

Abstract

The burgeoning number of elderly individuals in the population is inevitably accompanied by an increase in the number of patients with organic psychosyndromes. Degenerative disorders and vascular disease increase markedly in the aged. Similarly, trauma, some types of neoplasms, and toxic-metabolic conditions are more common in the elderly than in younger individuals. Most of these disorders are accompanied by behavioural alterations and psychopharmacologic treatment will be a major component of most therapeutic regimens. In this chapter, the prevalence of organic psychosyndromes in the elderly will be reviewed, the principal geriatric neuropsychiatric disorders will be presented, and the current approach to psychopharmacologic management of organic psychosyndromes occurring in the aged will be discussed.
