Psychiatric evaluation and medication care for older adults facing mood, anxiety, sleep, behavioral, or cognitive changes.
Overview of Geriatric Psychiatry
Mental health concerns in later life often overlap with medical conditions, pain, loss, changes in independence, cognitive concerns, and complex medication regimens.
Evaluation considers the whole health picture and can include family or caregivers with the patient's permission.
Common symptoms

- Sleep changes
- Irritability or behavior changes
- Confusion or memory concerns
- Loss of interest and motivation
- Difficulty managing medications or routines
How it can affect daily life
Symptoms may affect independence, safety, caregiving needs, physical health, and quality of life. Medication side effects can be more significant in older adults.
