Psychiatry, Geriatric
Geriatric Psychiatry focuses on the normal and abnormal emotional, behavioral and cognitive aspects of aging, including diagnosis and treatment of mental illness in older adults such as depression, anxiety, confusion, and psychosis. Geriatric psychiatrists also evaluate patients with memory loss or dementia, such as Alzheimer's Disease, with special emphasis on the behavioral problems associated with these disorders. Geriatric psychiatrists help patients and their families cope with the normal changes and losses that occur with aging, chronic illness, and end-of-life issues. Treatments include medication and individual therapy with a special emphasis on working with the family along with the older individual.
