    Abstract

    Older adults are an important segment of the population that has specific health care needs. Their unique biopsychosocial characteristics impact the presentation, evaluation, and management of psychiatric illnesses. This article describes how common psychiatric disorders present in an aging population. Research in this area is relatively new and much more information is still needed. Close attention should be paid to new knowledge as it emerges about this growing population.
