Institute of Psychiatry : Psychiatric Services : Geriatric Services

The Geriatric Psychiatry Division of the Institute of Psychiatry offers a comprehensive range of services that are dedicated to helping mature adults achieve their optimal mental well-being.  Although growing older brings many rewards, it can also bring its own set of difficulties.  Challenges such as the loss of loved ones, loss of independence, physical burdens and illnesses, and the need for increased medication use can often lead to problems with depression, anxiety, confusion, and other symptoms.  We offer consultation, evaluation, and psychiatric treatment of a variety of emotional, cognitive, and behavioral conditions encountered during the aging process.  Through appropriate medical and psychiatric evaluation and management of these conditions, we hope to relieve symptoms and improve a person's quality of life.
