    Author: Yudofsky SC, Silver JM, Hales RE.
    Journal: J Clin Psychiatry; 1990 Oct; 51 Suppl():22-8; discussion 29-32. PubMed ID: 1976621.
    Abstract:
    Issues related to the epidemiology, nosology, and differential diagnosis of organic aggressive disorders in the elderly are discussed. Rating and monitoring of aggressive events using the Overt Aggression Scale are reviewed. The management of acute aggression with antipsychotic agents and benzodiazepines is presented, as well as an approach for using beta-blockers, anticonvulsant agents, and serotonin-specific antidepressants and an antianxiety agent for the treatment of chronic aggression.
