Old Age Psychiatry
Welcome to our old age psychiatry services, dedicated to addressing the unique mental health needs of older adults. We recognize the importance of providing specialized care that takes into account the complexities associated with aging. In your first appointment, our experienced old age psychiatrist will spend approximately 45 minutes to 1 hour engaging in a comprehensive conversation to gain a deep understanding of your individual circumstances.
During this initial session, our psychiatrist will explore your personal history, including family dynamics, educational background, and employment experiences. We will also focus on your current challenges and difficulties, seeking to comprehend how these factors impact your daily life as an older adult. By taking a holistic approach, we aim to provide personalized care that addresses your specific needs and enhances your overall well-being.
With your permission, our psychiatrist may reach out to family members, caregivers, or other healthcare professionals involved in your care to gather additional information. This collaborative effort ensures that we have a comprehensive understanding of your situation and can make well-informed diagnostic assessments and treatment recommendations. At the end of this session, our psychiatrist will discuss their professional opinion regarding your diagnosis and provide guidance on the most suitable treatment options for your mental health needs.
