What to expect from geriatric psychiatric care
Care for older adults starts with a thorough evaluation. Physical health symptoms such as changes to sleep, appetite or difficulty concentrating may also be signs of a mental health diagnosis. Your psychiatric provider will carefully assess these symptoms and together with the patient and family, develop a care plan to improve overall function. Ongoing follow up will track symptoms over time and determine if other support such as medication or therapy may be useful. The plan can be coordinated with all members of the health care team.
Who this is for
