Are you a busy clinician who does not have time to keep up with the latest medications and trends in geriatric prescribing? This seminar will provide you with the information you need to feel more confident in choosing the right medication for your older adult patients with mental health issues and dementia. Join me, Dr. Tamatha Arms, PhD, DNP, PMHNP-BC, NP-C, as I discuss the newest recommendations from the American Geriatrics Society and the American Psychiatric Association and review the new neuropsychiatric medications available. We are also learning that COVID-19 has been linked to long-term effects on the neurological system, causing delirium after recovery.
