Geriatric Rehabilitation Psychiatry

Geriatric Rehabilitation Psychiatry focuses on helping older adults recover from mental health issues, cognitive decline, or emotional distress, often after physical illnesses, injuries, or surgeries. This specialty combines psychological care with rehabilitation techniques to improve patients’ mental wellbeing and functional abilities. By addressing challenges such as depression, anxiety, and memory problems, geriatric rehabilitation psychiatrists work as part of a team to support recovery, enhance quality of life, and help older adults regain their independence in daily activities. Their approach recognizes the unique needs of aging individuals, encompassing both mental and physical health in the recovery process.
