Geriatric Psychiatry
Compassionate Care for Late-Life Mental Health
As we age, mental health needs become more complex. Depression might look like withdrawal. Anxiety might manifest as physical complaints. Memory concerns can create fear and confusion for the whole family.
We take a gentle, collaborative approach that honors the person’s dignity while addressing real symptoms.
What's Included
- Gentle evaluation (medication review, cognition screening)
- Practical routines that support independence
- Caregiver guidance and family education
- Coordination with primary care and specialists
Common Concerns
We Address
- Late-Life Depression
Often overlooked or dismissed as “normal aging.” We assess and treat depression with care and respect.
- Anxiety & Sleep Issues
Worry, insomnia, and restlessness can significantly impact quality of life. We find practical solutions.
- Medication Review
Older adults often take multiple medications. We review for interactions, side effects, and simplification.
- Behavioral Changes
Agitation, confusion, or personality shifts—we help families understand and respond with compassion.
For Family Caregivers
Caring for an aging parent or partner can be overwhelming. We provide guidance, education, and support for caregivers navigating difficult decisions. Family members are welcome to join appointments (with the patient's consent) to ask questions and understand the treatment plan.
