Geriatric Anxiety Disorders

Geriatric Anxiety Disorders refer to anxiety conditions that occur in older adults, often linked to the challenges of aging, such as health issues, loss of loved ones, or changes in living situations. Common symptoms include excessive worry, restlessness, and difficulty concentrating. These disorders can affect daily functioning and overall well-being. Diagnosis involves a thorough evaluation by a mental health professional, considering both mental and physical health. Treatment may include therapy, medication, or lifestyle changes aimed at managing anxiety and improving quality of life. Early recognition and intervention are key to supporting emotional health in older adults.
