Psychotropic drugs are sometimes prescribed when elderly patients visit primary care physician for their psychiatric or behavioral problem. However these drugs sometimes cause deterioration in symptoms, or in cognitive or physical function. Then the patients are referred to a psychiatry hospital demanding expert treatment. In these cases, symptoms could be improved or cognitive or physical functions could be restored after tapering or discontinuation of the causal drugs. The study aims to clarify relationships between inappropriate use of psychotropic drugs and deterioration in psychiatric symptoms, cognitive and physical function in elderly patients visiting our psychiatry hospital.
