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

Abstract:

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.

Participation of relatives to provide clinical information on psychiatric patients is frequently under-utilized resulting in valuable data being bypassed.

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.

Abstract:

Aging persons can become involved in the criminal justice system, more commonly as victims but also as offenders. They are a growing group of interest in forensic psychiatry, due to the ageing of the population. Moreover, they are overrepresented in long-stay facilities. Forensic psychiatrists may be asked to evaluate elderly individuals whose behaviour has become problematic to their families, caregivers, or third parties. We will focus here on problematic behaviors in eldery people, particularly disinhibition, agitation and aggression, and criminal behaviour and the incarcerated eldery. Fore

Those who work with older adults will inevitably find themselves working with families. Indeed assessment of an older person is often difficult if members of their family and social network are not involved.

Microcomputers are increasingly being used in psychiatry for a variety of purposes. When used in computer-patient ‘interviews’ they have generally proved acceptable—indeed popular—with psychiatric patients. Automated psychological assessment is one form of computer-patient interview that is attracting much interest. Some of the early applications were with elderly patients. Kendrick has expressed doubts regarding this application with the current generation of elderly people, suggesting that their relative unfamiliarity with computers and video games might cause difficulties.

Abstract:

Testing the ability to write a simple sentence has long formed part of the clinical assessment of the cognitive state in the elderly, and has even been incorporated into standard brief cognitive tests (Folstein et al, 1975). Writing a sentence tests a number of faculties including language skills and praxis. As part of a comparative study of four tests of cognitive function—the Felix Post Unit (Institute of Psychiatry, 1987), Mini Mental State Examination (Folstein et al, 1975), Abbreviated Mental Test (Qureshi & Hodkinson, 1974) and Medical Research Council (MRC, 1987) – sentences written

Abstract:

The ‘illusion of visitors' is a common phenomenon among geriatric patients presenting for psychiatric or neurologic evaluation and treatment. Although these illusory beliefs are etiologically diverse, patients may commonly have visual impairment and functional and/or structural disruption of frontal and right-hemisphere-mediated cognitive functioning. This article outlines eight cases of illusory beliefs among elderly patients, presenting psychiatric, neurologic, neuroimaging, and neuropsychological findings among these patients. Commonalities and differences among these cases are discussed, a

The populations in the large mental handicap hospitals are known to be diverse, ranging from elderly non-psychiatric residential groups to acutely psychotic and behaviourally disturbed patients. At present demographic variables, medical and psychiatric characteristics of populations in these hospitals are changing in parallel with implementation of community care and resettlement programmes. In resettlement programmes, discharge priorities have been given to the easy to manage and less dependent residents while new challenging behavioural units and admission assessment wards are being opened t

As the elderly population increases the domain of geriatric psychiatry is developing. Senior patients have unique clinical presentations and coexisting medical conditions necessitating a thorough assessment and treatment plan. We aimed to investigate how residents at the Ibn Nafis University Psychiatric Center in Marrakech (Morocco) prescribe psychotropic drugs to elderly patients. We also explored the recommendations offered by research for the treatment of psychiatric disorders in this citizenry. A cross-sectional descriptive design was employed.

Abstract:

Geriatric patients constitute a significant proportion of referrals to a psychiatric consultation-liaison service, accounting for 29% of referrals in the present study. Organic mental disorders, the most common psychiatric diagnosis, were identified in 51% of geriatric referrals. The next most common psychiatric conditions were affective disorders and adjustment disorders, each of which were diagnosed in 17% of geriatric referrals. Transfers to in-patient psychiatry were unusual and the most common recommendations were for psychotropic medications, further medical investigations, and for psych

Methods: This is a subanalysis of a 1-year prospective assessment of medication cost for patients with neuropsychiatric disorders receiving combinatorial PGx testing. Pharmacy claims were used to compare per member per year (PMPY) medication cost for patients ≥65 and <65 years old when medications were congruent or incongruent with the PGx test. Polypharmacy was also assessed. Results: Congruent prescribing was

The presenting problems and pre-admission diagnoses of 100 consecutive admissions to a geriatric psychiatry inpatient assessment unit were assessed in a retrospective survey and the use of psychotropic medication examined. Although post-admission diagnoses showed a high proportion of depressive illness amongst the patients, depression was infrequently diagnosed prior to admission and antidepressants infrequently used. The majority of these elderly patients were referred with a diagnosis of dementia and ‘behaviour problems’. These were treated prior to admission with neuroleptics or benzodiazep

CONTEXT: The loss of body weight and fat late in life is associated with premature death and increased risk of disability, even after excluding elderly subjects who have a preexisting disease. Although it is important to recognize that periods of substantially positive or negative energy balance and body weight fluctuation occur as a normal part of life, weight losses greater than 5% over 6 months should be investigated. We can divide the major causes of weight loss in the elderly into 4 categories: social, psychiatric, due to medical conditions, and age-related. The clinical evaluation should
