Now many elderly people use psychotropic agents for depression or anxiety or delilium or insomnia. Some of them can use those agents without prescriptions of psychiatrists. We wonder if many doctors other than psychiatrists tend to give such drugs without serious consideration. So we tried to invest one healthcare facitily for elderly with no psychiatrists and checked prescriptions of psychotropic agents. And we consider adequate use of psychotropic agents for elderly there. We hope this presentation reveal new trend for use of such drugs for elderly people in Japan
