Our commitment to holistic care extends to geriatric mental health, ensuring that older adults receive the support they need to lead fulfilling lives.
Understanding Geriatric Mental Health
Geriatric mental health encompasses a spectrum of conditions and challenges that affect older adults. From mood disorders like depression and anxiety to cognitive impairments such as dementia and Alzheimer’s disease, the complexities of ageing can impact mental well-being significantly. Factors such as chronic illness, loss of independence, social isolation, and bereavement can further exacerbate these challenges.
