For many men and women, the changes that come with aging can mean having to adapt to circumstances that are very emotionally and physically trying. The loss of a spouse or close friend, the inability to maintain the family home or do the daily things that once meant self-sufficiency are hard issues to cope with. Problems with memory, depression, anxiety and other behavioral and psychiatric disturbances can greatly impact older people and their loved ones – especially spouses, children and caregivers. Geriatric Services at the Institute of Psychiatry offers many ways of supporting older adults and their loved ones through these difficulties.
