geropsychological assessment

Geropsychological assessment is a comprehensive evaluation of an older adult's mental health, cognitive abilities, and emotional well-being. It involves using interviews, tests, and observations to identify issues like memory problems, depression, anxiety, or mood changes. The goal is to understand the person's mental strengths and challenges, help diagnose any conditions, and guide appropriate treatment or support. This assessment supports older adults in maintaining their independence and quality of life, and it often involves collaboration with family members and healthcare providers to ensure a holistic understanding of the individual's needs.
