ABSTRACT
Many elderly people live well and at home, but some require somatic and psychiatric care. Mobile psychiatric teams for the elderly are called upon to intervene with people aged 65-70 and over who are experiencing psychological distress. Among senior citizens, addictive disorders are very common, and are associated with psychiatric and geriatric co-morbidities. Alcohol, tobacco and benzodiazepine use disorders require holistic, individualized care, based on identification, prevention and referral, as well as training and coordination of professionals and caregivers.
