Geriatric Psychiatry

Geriatric psychiatry is a specialized field of psychiatry focused on the mental health care of older adults, typically aged 65 and older. It addresses the unique psychological, social, and biological aspects of aging and their impact on mental well-being. Common mental health issues in older adults include depression, anxiety disorders, cognitive disorders (e.g., dementia), psychotic disorders (e.g., schizophrenia), and substance use disorders. These conditions may arise or worsen due to factors such as medical comorbidities, neurological changes, life transitions, and social isolation. Geriatric psychiatrists collaborate with other healthcare providers, caregivers, and family members to optimize care, enhance quality of life, and promote independence for older adults. Supportive interventions may include caregiver education, long-term care planning, and community resources to address social needs and prevent isolation. Research in geriatric psychiatry explores aging-related mental health issues, effective interventions, and strategies to improve care delivery and outcomes for older adults. Ethical considerations emphasize autonomy, dignity, and quality of life in providing compassionate and comprehensive care to this vulnerable population.
