Geropsych Pearls

Clinical pearls to help you manage your geriatric peeps!

These tidbits are offered for clinicians that find themselves struggling to care for geriatric patients.  They are offered with the assumption that you already know how to treat psychiatric disorders, but desire tips to adjust your current prescribing practices for an older frail population.

Standard Disclaimer

The  opinions and advice expressed on this website are my own. They are not  endorsed or reflective of any organization. These recommendations and  clinical tidbits are offered freely for the sole benefit of clinicians  who may find them useful. They are not binding, and they are not a  substitute for clinical judgment.

Oh, yeah, and they might not always be right. You know how things change.  Caveat emptor, as they say.
