Interpersonal-based: working on relationships rather than things within yourself, non-traditional forms, things like art therapy, etc, pharmacological and psychological are more forms of traditional treatment. Side effect profile: every medication has a list of side effects and people will choose medications based on the side effect profile, e. g. , weight gain, drowsiness, etc, prior history of response to medication. Likelihood of adherence to regimen: considering this with concurrent medications is a big one, complex medication regimen, the likelihood of adherence of that individual is very low, cost. Cognitive behavioural therapy: most common type of psychological therapy out there, most tested psychological treatment option. Same as younger adults: how cbt looks and feels is the same, modifications, understand context of late life, knowing that maybe there"s a generational type thing going on, accommodate sensory/physical challenges, cognitive impairment.
