About
Tasmin Rookes is a rising researcher whose work addresses one of the most pressing challenges in geriatric mental health: managing dementia-related psychosis (D-RP) without over-reliance on antipsychotic medications. Her research focuses on non-pharmacological interventions, a critical area given that up to 70% of people with dementia experience psychosis, and antipsychotics carry severe adverse effects for older adults. Rookes’ most cited work, a 2024 systematic review and meta-analysis, synthesizes evidence on alternative strategies to manage D-RP, aiming to improve quality of life, reduce caregiver burden, and slow cognitive decline. This paper has already garnered 8 citations, signaling its timely impact in a field where non-drug approaches are urgently needed. Her complementary 2024 review further underscores the prevalence of D-RP and the pressing need for effective, safer interventions. By highlighting the link between psychosis and accelerated decline, Rookes is helping to shift clinical practice toward holistic, patient-centered care. Her work is particularly valuable for students and clinicians seeking evidence-based alternatives to pharmacology in dementia care.
