Description: Psychiatric disorders are not uncommon in older adults. Illnesses like neurocognitive disorders, behavioral and psychological symptoms of neurocognitive disorders, mood disorders, anxiety disorders, psychotic disorders and substance use disorders are frequently encountered among older adults. The population of older adults is growing rapidly in the United States. This has led to an increase in the number of older adults with psychiatric disorders needing care. In this course we will review the common psychiatric disorders among older adults: neurocognitive disorders, behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementias, mood disorders, anxiety disorders, psychotic disorders, and substance use disorders. We have designed this comprehensive review course for clinicians who want to gain expertise in caring for older adults with these common psychiatric disorders. This course will be taught by award winning geriatric psychiatrists who have expertise in the teaching courses in geriatric psychiatry.
