Harvey (psychiatry, Mt. Sinai School of Medicine) compares the symptoms, treatment, and side effects of schizophrenia found in older adults with those of younger patients and offers suggestions for better treatment for older schizophrenics. He examines the aging process in healthy adults, the clinical features of schizophrenia in later life and its effects on cognitive function, the incidence of late-onset schizophrenia, the differences between dementia and schizophrenia, and current and previous treatment, including adverse effects, and recent developments in pharmacology.
