Abstract
En 中文
• Late-life depression shows distinct real-world psychopharmacological treatment patterns. • Older inpatients receive more antipsychotics, sedatives, and complex polypharmacy. • Antidepressant subclass use differs by age, with greater SNRI and NaSSA use in LLD. • Psychotropic polypharmacy is substantially more prevalent in older depressed patients.
