"Guidelines for medical treatment and its safety in the elderly 2015" are the guidelines that position safety as the principal objective when a non-specialist performs medical therapy for elderly persons older than 75 years old, or an elderly person who is frail or needs nursing care younger than 75 years. When the guidelines were announced in April 2015, many public comments were received from patients, caregivers, care staff, medical doctors, and the medical society. The majority of the comments were regarding behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD). Many opinions about antipsychotics were from non-specialists, such as primary care doctors. This suggests that many non-specialists treat severe BPSD using antipsychotics, and that the further promotion of cooperation between non-specialists and psychiatrists is necessary.
