About
Dr. Madiha Sajid is a leading researcher in geriatric psychiatry and dementia care, with a focused expertise in non-pharmacological interventions for neuropsychiatric symptoms. Her most impactful work, a 2024 systematic review and meta-analysis on managing dementia-related psychosis (D-RP), addresses a critical clinical challenge: up to 70% of dementia patients experience psychosis, yet antipsychotic medications carry severe adverse effects for older adults. This seminal study synthesizes evidence on alternative approaches, offering safer, evidence-based strategies for a rapidly aging global population—projected to reach 153 million dementia cases by 2050. Garnering 8 citations in its first year, the paper has already shaped clinical guidelines and sparked further research into behavioral and environmental interventions. Dr. Sajid’s work bridges a vital gap in dementia care, providing clinicians with tools to reduce pharmacological risks while improving quality of life. Her contributions are particularly timely given the global push toward holistic, patient-centered geriatric care, positioning her as a key voice in transforming how we treat one of dementia’s most distressing symptoms.
