About
Farah Mahmood is a leading researcher in geriatric psychiatry and dementia care, with a focus on non-pharmacological interventions for neuropsychiatric symptoms. Her most cited work, a 2024 systematic review and meta-analysis on managing dementia-related psychosis (D-RP), addresses a critical gap in aging populations—where up to 70% of dementia patients experience psychosis, yet antipsychotics carry severe risks for older adults. This study synthesizes evidence on safe, drug-free alternatives, offering clinicians practical strategies to reduce reliance on harmful medications. With 8 citations already, her work is gaining traction as global dementia cases are projected to reach 153 million by 2050. Mahmood’s contributions are particularly timely, bridging the urgent need for scalable, low-risk interventions in geriatric care. Her research not only advances clinical guidelines but also empowers caregivers with evidence-based tools, making her a vital voice in the movement toward humane, patient-centered dementia treatment.
