| Popis: | Behavioral health disorders are common among older adults, and due to limited access to resources for mental health care in the community, emergency department providers are often on the front lines of mental health crises. This chapter aims to review the available literature regarding the care of behavioral health emergencies in older adults and provides a framework for navigating the evaluation and management of older adults presenting to the emergency department with behavioral health concerns. |
