[Agitation in the elderly person. Diagnostic and therapeutic approach].

R F Roberge1.   

Abstract

Treating agitation in elderly people is a complex process. Faced with a paucity of empirical information, clinicians tend to adopt a therapeutic approach based on their clinical evaluation. This article offers a rational approach that will help physicians to better understand, evaluate, and treat agitation.
