Guide to the Psychiatry of Old Age 2nd Edition

Guide to the Psychiatry of Old Age (2nd Edition) is an essential and comprehensive reference for clinicians working with the elderly population, particularly those dealing with cognitive decline, dementia, mood disorders, psychosis, behavioral disturbances, grief, and neurodegenerative conditions. Now available at BooksHub.pk, this fully updated edition integrates the latest research in geriatric mental health, offering evidence-based clinical approaches for assessment, diagnosis, and treatment.

As the global population ages, healthcare professionals increasingly encounter older patients with complex psychiatric presentations where mental health is intertwined with physical illness, social changes, bereavement, functional decline, and cultural context. This book provides clear, practical guidance for managing these challenges in clinics, hospitals, long-term care centers, community settings, and home-based care.

This second edition includes expanded chapters on:

• Dementia and Mild Cognitive Impairment

• Depression, Anxiety, and Late-Life Bipolar Disorder

• Delirium and Cognitive Fluctuation

• Schizophrenia and Late-Onset Psychosis

• End-of-Life Psychological Care

• Ethical and Legal Considerations in Elder Care

The authors emphasize a holistic, person-centered model of care that respects the patient’s cognitive ability, physical health, social identity, emotional life, and family system. Practical tools such as mental state examination guides, screening scales, diagnostic differentials, case studies, and treatment algorithms help clinicians apply theory to real-world clinical situations.

Whether you are new to geriatric psychiatry or expanding your professional depth, this book provides the clarity, structure, and clinical insight needed to manage elderly patients with confidence and compassion.
