Geriatric psychiatry is psychiatry for older adults, aimed at disorders developed later in life such as depression, anxiety, or dementia. Management of these conditions can be more complex compared to younger adults, which is why a geriatric specialty is so important. The process is designed to be comprehensive and personalized, and we aim to treat symptoms that can be bothersome or debilitating. These symptoms can include sleep disturbance, mood changes, appetite changes, or more severe things like hallucinations. Medication is tailored not just to symptoms, but also to the patient’s and their family’s goals. As part of medication management, we also take into consideration a person’s medical conditions, which is important to avoid side effects or interactions with other medications. Ongoing monitoring and adjustments are an essential part of the process to make sure the treatment is working well.
