Geriatric Psychiatry

Geriatric psychiatry, also known as geropsychiatry, is a specialized branch of psychiatry focusing on the mental health needs of older adults, typically those aged 65 and older. This field addresses the unique challenges associated with aging, such as cognitive decline, depression, anxiety, dementia (including Alzheimer’s disease), and late-life psychosis. It also considers the impact of chronic medical conditions, medication side effects, and social factors like isolation and loss, which can affect mental well-being in older adults. Geriatric psychiatrists are trained to evaluate and manage these complex interactions between physical and mental health, tailoring treatments to meet individual needs. Treatments may include psychotherapy, medications, and lifestyle interventions, often working alongside caregivers and multidisciplinary teams. Early intervention and appropriate care are essential to maintaining an older adult's quality of life, independence, and emotional well-being. Geriatric psychiatry plays a critical role in promoting healthy aging and addressing the mental health challenges that arise in later life.
