Welcome to hcm,
There are many drugs used in psychiatric disorders
Most common medication used in elderly people is antidepressants and anti psychotics
It all depends upon the diagnosis the treatment may change.
Depending upon Other things like other comorbid conditions the physician or a psychiatrist prescribs drugs
Hope this explains
