Depression in old adults, and panic anxiety disorder, are the main characteristics of gerontopsychiatry. Interactions between dementia, panic hallucinations and delusions, psychotic disorders, drugs, insomnia, suicide and dementia, define the psychiatric aspects of old patients. Bipolar troubles, and mental disorders are typical for psychiatry of old patients.  Starting at 65 years and/or older, interactions between drugs, polymerization, and schizophrenia provide substantial evidences of psychic disorders. Dementia, neuropsychiatric complications, suicidal thinking, medical psychiatric disorders characterize psychiatric conclusive evidence in the elderly. Drugs, such as anticholinergics, antiparkinson, steroids and beta-blockers, as well as alcohol and benzodiazepine withdrawal, may produce mental health disorders. Psychiatric alterations have consequences that include social deprivation, poor quality of life, cognitive decline, disability, increased risks for somatic disorders, suicide, and increased non-suicidal mortality. Geriatric psychiatrics aiming to investigate the causes of neurologic effects, are symptoms that should be treated by an alienist.
