The current demographic landscape, marked by a high rate of population aging and an increasingly longer life expectancy, requires healthcare professionals to take on the challenge of addressing the psychopathology specific to older adults. This book examines the main psychogeriatric syndromes, including affective disorders, late‑onset psychosis, anxiety in older adults, personality changes, and emerging addictions. It also explores therapeutic approaches in depth, from increasingly specialized non‑pharmacological treatments to the use of psychotropic medications in a context shaped by polypharmacy and frailty. Essential Guide to Psychogeriatrics is intended for medical trainees and specialists in Geriatrics, Neurology, and Psychiatry, as well as psychologists, occupational therapists, and other professionals.
