Title
A behaviour symptom that needs more understanding.
Abstract
The article emphasizes the need for caregivers and nursing home staff to detect symptoms of late-life anxiety among nursing home residents. Anxiety symptoms should not be viewed as an expected part of aging. The diagnosis, course and treatment of anxiety in the elderly is lagging and not well understood. Late-life anxiety disorders have been underestimated. Overlooking anxiety symptoms could lead to a neglect of important care interventions.
