Abstract:
ABSTRACT The psychiatric assessment of elderly differs from assessment of adult patients on various accounts. In this continuing medical education series, we discuss the generic aspects of psychiatric assessment of elderly. In this document we describe the SAFEST approach for psychiatric evaluation of elderly. This involves understanding the signs and symptoms [S], Additional Diagnosis- comorbid physical and psychiatric diagnosis [A], level of functioning, frailty, falls, forceful acts-abuse, forensic issues [F], collecting extra information pertaining to nutritional status, the environment in

SummaryAn initial psychiatric assessment of elderly people at home is an important component of many old age psychiatry services. This article explores the clinical aspects of conducting such assessments and the skills required in addition to those brought to a standard psychiatric interview. Safety considerations and risk management when conducting home assessments are also discussed.

In a general practice population, 274 elderly married couples completed the Mental Status Questionnaire (MSQ), the 60-item General Health Questionnaire (GHQ) and the Leeds General Scales for the Self-assessment of Depression and Anxiety. The only relationship detected between cognitive impairment on the MSQ and psychiatric morbidity in the partner was a fairly weak negative correlation between the wives' MSQ and the Leeds Depression score of their husbands. These findings differ from those of previous studies, which have found high rates of psychiatric morbidity in the relatives of demented pa

Participation of relatives to provide clinical information on psychiatric patients is frequently under-utilized resulting in valuable data being bypassed. In an attempt to formalise the gathering of data from relatives we used the Geriatric Evaluation by Relatives Rating Instrument (GERRI), a 49-statement questionnaire in which the relative rates the patient's behaviour in terms of frequency of occurrence, The information obtained from relatives was then compared with that obtained from other forms of patient-assessment—the London Psychogeriatric Rating Scale completed by nursing staff, the Mi

Abstract:
AbstractAims/hypothesis Although several studies have reported on the association between diabetes and depression, none have used both formal psychiatric criteria and a prospective, population-based design. Therefore, it remains unclear whether diabetes is a risk factor for the development of depression. Moreover, it is not clear if this effect is influenced by other chronic diseases and functional disabilities. Methods A large (n=4,803) representative communitybased study in Spanish elderly subjects (at least 55 years of age) was conducted. The presence of major depression was assessed by mea

Abstract:
The assessment of the elderly defendant presents a specific set of challenges in the forensic psychiatric evaluation process. In this special population, a neurocognitive disorder or the presence of cognitive, psychiatric, and behavioral symptoms can impair a defendant’s understanding of the legal system or their ability to work effectively with an attorney in the preparation of a defense. Therefore, assessments of capacity to stand trial may require special attention to the mental health conditions and symptoms more commonly seen in elderly persons, and the evaluation process may require modi

Chronic pain is often associated with anxiety, depression, and frailty. The relationship between pain and mental illness is complex and bidirectional. In elderly people, poor self-rated health is strongly associated with pain severity, and pain-related interference with daily activities leads to depression. There is a shared neural substrate within the central nervous system (CNS) between pain and depression, which have a common neuroanatomical organization within the CNS. The close association between pain and depression means that assessment of pain should be accompanied by assessment of dep
