Abstract

Neuropsychiatric disorders in the elderly, such as dementia, depression, anxiety, and psychosis, may occur alone or in combination with neurologic or medical illness. Geriatricians must be familiar not only with diagnostic issues but also with treatment options and medication-induced alterations in mental status.

摘要

老年人的神经精神疾病，如痴呆、抑郁、焦虑和精神病，可能单独出现，也可能与神经或内科疾病合并出现。老年病医生不仅必须熟悉诊断问题，还必须熟悉治疗选择以及药物引起的精神状态改变。
