General Geriatrics

General geriatrics is a branch of medicine focused on the health care of older adults. It involves understanding the unique medical, psychological, and social needs of elderly patients, recognizing that they often have multiple health conditions and specific care requirements. Geriatricians, or doctors specialized in this field, help manage complex issues such as mobility challenges, chronic diseases, and cognitive decline, aiming to enhance the quality of life and promote independence. Their approach emphasizes personalized care that addresses both physical health and emotional well-being, ensuring that older adults receive comprehensive, compassionate treatment.
