I presented a case of an aging female with dementia who resides in an assisted living community where I provide psychiatric consultation.&nbsp; The consult request was to assess her capacity to consent to a sexual relationship with another resident of the facility.&nbsp; In my presentation I discussed some of the models to assess capacity to consent to a sexual relationship, but also discussed the limitations and how there is no \u201cgold standard\u201d for this type of assessment in someone with cognitive impairment.&nbsp; I discussed the importance of balancing patient autonomy and patient preferences with patient safety.&nbsp; I also mentioned some myths and realities regarding aging and sexual health.&nbsp; Other factors discussed during this presentation include challenges seen in long-term care facilities when it comes to intimacy, and when it may be appropriate to collaborate with decision-makers. &nbsp;Thanks again for those of you who attended the panel and for the opportunity to present at this meeting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dr. Rountree spoke to a difficult case of anxiety in a geriatric patient. &nbsp;She considered multiple psychosocial complexities in the case, including the impact of lifelong experiences, social stigma, personality factors, and internalized ageism. &nbsp;She also spoke to the need for providers to be persistent in working with patients to participate in psychotherapy and\/or pharmacological interventions for anxiety.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Moderator:\u00a0 Brian Wood, DO, DFAPAMeredith Lee, DO, DFAPA and Chelsey Rountree, MD At the recent PSV meeting I had the privilege of participating in the Geriatric Case Panel with colleagues Dr. Chelsey Rountree and Dr. Brian Wood.&nbsp;
