Inside this resource
Neurocognitive Disorders and Dementia
This geriatric psychiatry board review opens with Jack Krasuski’s three focused lectures on dementia assessment, diagnosis, and management, moving from general evaluation principles into specific etiologies such as Lewy body and frontotemporal presentations. A separate delirium session covers acute confusional states in hospitalized elders, differentiating reversible from irreversible cognitive decline.
Mood, Anxiety, and Psychotic Disorders in Later Life
James Ellison teaches the depressive and bipolar lectures, emphasizing late-life pharmacotherapy nuances and maintenance strategies. Brent Forester handles psychotic disorders, anxiety, OCD, and trauma-related conditions as they manifest in aging populations, with attention to comorbidity patterns unique to geriatric patients.
Neuroscience, Neuroanatomy, and Aging
Three progressive neuroscience lectures by Krasuski walk through brain structure, neural pathways, and age-related changes. Clinical aspects of aging and geriatric psychopharmacology rounds out this section, bridging basic science directly to prescribing decisions in older adults.
Medical and Neurologic Comorbidities
Hrayr Attarian covers movement disorders, stroke syndromes, seizures, headaches, malignancies, and coma — conditions that frequently complicate psychiatric treatment in the elderly. Krasuski’s cortical syndromes lecture ties neurological localization to behavioral and cognitive presentations.
Diagnostic Testing and Practice Issues
A dedicated neuropsychological testing and neuroimaging session clarifies when formal testing adds value and how imaging findings alter management. Forensics, ethics, and practice issues close the course with regulatory and medicolegal considerations relevant to geriatric psychiatry practice.

Good content overall but the personality disorders section felt rushed compared to the depth of the neuroscience lectures. The delirium session was one of the best I have watched on the topic.
Sarah K. –
Jack Krasuski’s neuroscience lectures alone justified the purchase. He breaks down cortical syndromes and neuroanatomy in ways that stick. The PDF handouts paired with each video were perfect for quick review.

Solid geriatric psychiatry board review that covers every major domain. The movement disorders and stroke sessions with Attarian were excellent. Would have appreciated a few more case-based practice questions.
Laura H. –
The geriatric psychopharmacology lecture was thorough and current. Depression and bipolar sessions from Ellison filled gaps in my knowledge about medication adjustments for elderly patients with renal changes.
M. Alvarez –
Used this to pass the geriatric subspecialty exam on my first attempt. Thirty-six hours sounds daunting, but the 27-session breakdown made it manageable over two months of evening study.

Forensics and ethics were surprisingly practical. Krasuski connects regulatory issues to real clinical dilemmas rather than reciting statutes. Downloadable format let me study during rotations.
