About The Study: This cross-sectional study found that older U.S. adults are increasingly treated with antipsychotics, with a growing share receiving them from long-term care pharmacies and a declining percentage from psychiatrists and for first-generation medications. An increase in prescribing by non-psychiatrists contributed to the overall trend.
