Depression and GAD are the most common
psychiatric disorders observed in geriatric
patients and if left untreated lead to decreased
daily function and increased morbidity and
mortality. SSRI and SNRI therapy are recom-
mended as first-line when medications are
needed. Doses should be started at the lower
end of the range but eventually titrated to
a moderate dose to provide an adequate
response. Frequent follow-up, monitoring, and
support should be provided once therapy is initi-
ated to increase chances of remission, compli-
ance, and quality of life.
Benzodiazepines can be used if acute
treatment of an anxiety disorder is needed.
Short-acting agents such as lorazepam and
oxazepam are the preferred agents to use in the
elderly. Generally, chronic benzodiazepine use
is discouraged because of the risk of adverse
effects and should be gradually tapered after a
patient has had time to respond to antidepres-
sant therapy.
Insomnia is a common complaint among
elderly patients. If left undiagnosed and
untreated, insomnia may adversely affect a
patient’s overall health status and quality of life.
When an older patient complains of sleep diffi-
culties, it is important to evaluate the patient as
a whole, which includes assessing comorbid
conditions, medication use, and environment.
Assessing the elderly patient’s daytime func-
tioning can help the clinician in selecting the
appropriate therapy. Nonpharmacologic therapy
is beneficial for the elderly. If nonpharmaco-
logic strategies are ineffective, the use of drug
therapy (e.g., a benzodiazepine-receptor agonist,
ramelteon, or doxepin) may be warranted.
The prevalence of substance-use disorders
in older adults is less than that observed in young
to middle-age adults. However, as the geriatric
population continues to grow and the “Baby
Boomers” begin to enter their sixties, the preva-
lence of late-life abuse is expected to increase.
Currently, alcohol abuse is noted to be more
concerning in the elderly population compared
to prescription drug or illicit substance abuse.
Clinical Pearls
• Older adults with sleep difficulties often try self-treatment interventions before report-
ing these symptoms to their healthcare provider. Interventions often tried are watch-
ing TV, listening to the radio, OTC sleep aids, or drinking alcohol, which may worsen
insomnia or cause adverse effects. When assessing older adults, ask about their
sleep and sleep habits, including any treatments that they have tried to help them
sleep.
•
Current federal regulations require periodic dose reductions for all psychoactive
medications for nursing home residents. Antidepressants, benzodiazepines, and
benzodiazepine-receptor agonists must be tapered to lower doses within 6 months to
meet this regulation. This is repeated until the medication is discontinued or until the
resident demonstrates symptoms of disease recurrence. This is problematic with the
use of antidepressants, which are recommended for use a minimum of 9 months with
late-life depression and sometimes needed for life-long therapy. Clear documentation
of need is necessary to ensure optimal pharmaceutical care and prevent placing the
nursing home at risk for regulatory noncompliance.

S-A Q
1. What other complaints are associated more
with late-life depression and late-life anxiety
compared to young adult depression and
anxiety?
2.
Which therapies are considered first line for
treatment of late-life depression and late-life
anxiety?
3. Which benzodiazepines are considered
safer for older adults? When and how should
benzodiazepines be discontinued?
4. What physiologic changes on sleep archi-
tecture, circadian rhythm, and homeostatic
drive occur as a patient gets older? How
do chronic diseases and medication use
contribute to sleep disturbances in elderly
patients?
5.
Of the available pharmacologic therapies
indicated for insomnia, which are preferred
in the elderly population and why?
6. What are the limitations of using the DSM-5
criteria to diagnose a geriatric patient with
substance abuse and dependence?

considered as adjunct therapy for older
adults trying to abstain from alcohol?

are more likely to be abused because of
increased prescribing in the elderly popula-
tion?
