Report calls for evidence-based strategies to address Alzheimer's-related psychosis

Article excerpt

The Gerontological Society of America released a report highlighting the urgent need for evidence-based strategies to address psychosis in Alzheimer's patients, who experience delusions and hallucinations that create profound clinical, emotional, and societal consequences. The report, part of the organization's Insights & Implications in Gerontology series, advocates for comprehensive, person-centered care approaches rather than fragmented treatment. Psychosis in Alzheimer's disease remains a significant but often under-addressed clinical challenge, affecting both patients and their caregivers. The findings underscore gaps in current treatment protocols and call for interdisciplinary collaboration among geriatricians, psychiatrists, neurologists, and care coordinators.
