Geriatric Neurology

Geriatric neurology is a branch of medicine that focuses on diagnosing and treating neurological disorders in older adults. As people age, they may experience conditions like Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and stroke, which can affect their cognitive function, movement, and overall quality of life. Geriatric neurologists specialize in understanding how these conditions uniquely impact seniors, considering the interplay of aging, multiple health issues, and medications. Their goal is to improve patients' health and daily functioning through comprehensive care and tailored treatment plans that address both neurological issues and the complexities of aging.
