The population of older adults with mental illness is growing fast, with an estimated 10 million expected by the year 2020. This trend has tremendous implications for clinicians. "Geriatric Psychiatry" outlines current research on this burgeoning patient group, with practice implications to help psychiatrists prepare for the increase.

The chapters in "Geriatric Psychiatry" are contributed by leading experts who review the latest information on etiology, diagnosis, comorbidity, and treatment options, including pharmacological and behavioral therapies. Readers will find practical strategies for treating a range of late-life disorders-including depression and anxiety disorders, dementia, late-life psychotic disorders, and addictions-as well as recommendations for public policy and clinical practice.
