psychogeriatrics

Psychogeriatrics is a branch of medicine that focuses on the mental health and neurological issues affecting older adults. It addresses conditions such as dementia, depression, anxiety, and other mental health problems that can develop or worsen with aging. Specialists in this field understand the complex interplay between aging, brain changes, and mental well-being. They work to diagnose, treat, and manage these conditions to improve quality of life and support both the individual and their families. Ultimately, psychogeriatrics aims to promote mental health and cognitive function in later years through tailored care and intervention.
