Abstract

This review provides a comprehensive overview of schizophrenia in older adults. We review the epidemiology, classification and psychopathology of schizophrenia in later life and summarize recent research findings on depression, cognitive functioning, medical illness, adaptive functioning, quality of life, caregiver issues, and pharmacological and nonpharmacological management. We discuss the implications of these findings for clinical care, public policy and future research.
