Psychiatric Medications for Older Adults: A Clinician's Quick Reference Guide to Safe Prescribing in Older Adults, (Paperback)

Older adults are not simply older versions of younger patients. Their bodies metabolize drugs differently, their brains respond differently, and the clinical stakes of getting the prescription wrong are substantially higher.<br>This concise reference guide gives clinicians what they need at the point of care. Covering every major psychiatric drug class, from antidepressants and antipsychotics to mood stabilizers, anxiolytics, and cognitive enhancers, it translates the pharmacology of aging into practical, evidence-based prescribing decisions. Real clinical scenarios, condition-specific protocols, safety monitoring frameworks, and ready-to-use deprescribing tools make this the resource that works as hard as you do.<br>Written for psychiatric-mental health nurse practitioners, psychiatry residents, primary care physicians, and all clinicians treating older adults with psychiatric illness.<br><b>If you prescribe psychiatric medications to older adults, this book belongs on your desk.
