| Abstract
|
:
|
This single-volume reference covers the full range of psychiatric problems affecting older patients, from depression to dementia. This book reviews the effects of aging on cognitive performance, including clinical presentations of memory loss and medication-induced symptoms of mental disorder. It offers practical guidance to help the clinician not only diagnose and treat these conditions but also address such issues as evaluating competency for informed consent.
