Abstract:
The number of people in nursing homes is growing at a rapid rate as the population includes greater numbers of elderly Americans. Psychiatric disorders, including depression, anxiety, and paranoia, are commonly seen among this group. Recognition and treatment of these disorders by health care professionals can improve the quality of care and quality of life for elderly nursing home residents.
