How geriatric psychiatry can provide care that older adults deserve

How geriatric psychiatry can provide care that older adults deserve

 


Mental health care for patients 65 or older poses unique challenges, made more complex as geriatric population growth is projected to outpace the growth of trained physicians and other health professionals entering the workforce.

The October issue of AMA Journal of Ethics® (@JournalofEthics) focuses on contemporary ethical and clinical concerns related to geriatric psychiatry and how well the U.S. health system is prepared to provide quality mental health care for older adults. The journal features expert opinions on topics related to culturally appropriate care, telehealth and patient autonomy. Broader issues of caring for adults, such as ageism and age-related inequities, are also considered.

The October issue of AMA Journal of Ethics includes these following articles.

    1. Ageism is so structurally integrated and normalized in U.S. health care that it is generally unnoticed by many physicians and other health professionals.
    1. Many organizations implement “cognitive friendly” policies to care for patients who are older adults.
    1. This article suggests how to better identify older adults with mental illness at risk for placement that won’t meet their needs.
