Geriatric psychiatry is a subfield of psychiatry that focuses on the mental health needs of elderly patients. As people age, they face a variety of newfound problems, and this often takes a toll on their mental health. In addition, chronic illnesses can have a negative effect on mental processes and emotional processing. With the help of a geriatric psychiatrist, older people can live longer, healthier, and more fulfilling lives as they go through the aging process.
Psychiatrists are doctors who specialize in treating mental, addictive, and emotional disorders. They order diagnostic tests, prescribe medications, and use psychotherapy to help patients and their family members deal with these disorders and diseases. They often work with other doctors and specialists to help come up with the best treatment option for their patients.
