Geriatric Psychiatry Prescribing Guide

Geriatric psychiatry is high-stakes — and the ANCC tests it. This prescribing guide covers the 3 D's (Dementia vs Delirium vs Depression), 4 dementia subtypes, Beers Criteria psychiatric medications to avoid, renal and hepatic dose adjustments, anticholinergic burden scoring, polypharmacy risks, and geriatric depression — with board pearls and clinical distinctions throughout. Built for PMHNP-BC candidates who need to prescribe wisely, not just pass.
