Geriatric psychiatry is a subspeciality of psychiatry focused on the prevention, evaluation, treatment, and maintenance of emotional and mental health diagnoses in adults who are 65 years of age or older. These disorders may include sleep disorders, anxiety, late-life depression, and psychosis. Patients may also have a comorbid diagnosis of acute or chronic physical illness, which may exacerbate feelings of hopelessness and helplessness.

Our team at Interventional Psychiatry Group will collaborate with your current healthcare providers, specialists, and family to develop a comprehensive treatment plan. Each treatment plan will be tailored to your specific needs and may include medication management or a referral to individual psychotherapy or a specialist.
