This book consolidates current knowledge in the field and discusses
psychiatric disorders among the elderly, while bridging the gap
between clinical practice and the socio-cultural contexts. The book
is particularly important in the face of rapidly changing
conditions globally and challenges such as migration, war and
violence, diminishing physical health due to ageing and their
impact on the mental health of elderly. Longevity is a great
gift of medical sciences and modern health care and since the
benefit of longevity comes with specific mental health issues of
the elderly, this book responds to the heightened need to
understand and address the mental health challenges of the elderly.
