Carlat Publishing Launches New Geriatric Psychiatry Publication
BOSTON, June 22, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Stephanie Collier, MD, MPH, is partnering with Daniel Carlat, MD, to launch a newsletter focused on geriatric psychiatry. The Carlat Geriatric Psychiatry Report launched this year with issues focused on treating dementia, anxiety, and depression in health care's fastest growing patient population.
"Clinicians are increasingly challenged in caring for older adults with complex medical and psychiatric needs. There is a growing demand for clinicians to improve their comfort level in managing psychiatric disorders in older adults, who are often taking multiple medications and experiencing unique psychosocial stressors," said Dr. Collier, Director of Education in the Division of Geriatric Psychiatry at McLean Hospital and Instructor, Harvard Medical School. "My goal for the newsletter is to give clinicians practical tools to provide the highest quality of care when treating their older patients."
Dr. Carlat recognized the need for new materials on treating older patients through his work as Chief of Psychiatry at MelroseWakefield Healthcare in the Boston area.
"I felt a personal need to ramp up my command of the topic," said Dr. Carlat. "I reached out to Dr. Collier, a colleague at McLean—only a few miles away from my own hospital. I was impressed by her infectious enthusiasm for education and her devotion to elderly patients."
The first issue is free and includes an expert interview on the FDA's approval of Aducanumab for Alzheimer's disease with Andrew Budson, MD, Chief of Cognitive and Behavioral Neurology at the VA Boston Healthcare System. The first issue also includes an update on the FDA's approval of Adlarity (donepezil hydrochloride) for Alzheimer's disease, as well as articles covering how to interview older patients by Rehan Aziz, MD, and how to distinguish the dementias by Jose Ribas Roca, MD.
