Geriatric psychiatry is a specialized field of medicine that focuses on the mental health and well-being of older adults. The aging process can be accompanied by a range of emotional and psychological challenges that can affect an individual's quality of life. As we age, we may experience a range of physical and cognitive changes that can impact our mental health, including memory loss, mood disorders, and cognitive decline, decline in physical health, social isolation, and financial difficulties, among other challenges. These factors can increase the risk of developing mental health disorders, such as depression, anxiety, depression and cognitive impairment.

Geriatric psychiatry services are specifically designed to address the unique needs of older adults. This includes a focus on promoting independence, managing symptoms, and improving quality of life. Our team of experienced professionals understands the complex interplay between physical and mental health in older adults and works to develop individualized treatment plans that address these interconnected factors.

In addition to providing psychiatric assessments and treatments, we also offer supportive services to help our patients and their families navigate the challenges of aging. This includes assistance with care management, caregiver support, and resources for accessing community services.
