home / Geriatric Depression
Geriatric depression is a serious condition that affects older adults, often mistaken for normal aging. It goes beyond occasional sadness, leading to persistent feelings of hopelessness, lack of motivation, fatigue, and even physical discomfort. Unlike typical depression, older adults may not always express sadness but rather show irritability, withdrawal, or cognitive decline. Factors like chronic illnesses, loneliness, loss of independence, or medication side effects can contribute to the condition.
At JMPSYCH Inc., I recognize that aging comes with unique emotional and physical challenges. Aiming to help seniors regain their emotional well-being by providing compassionate, effective treatment personalized to their needs.
Identifying depression in older adults requires a thorough approach. Many seniors hesitate to discuss their emotional struggles, making early detection crucial. JMPSYCH Inc. conducts in-depth evaluations, considering medical history, life circumstances, and cognitive changes.
Our psychiatric team determines whether medication is appropriate, selecting treatments that are safe and effective for older adults. I carefully monitor dosages and potential interactions with other medications, ensuring a personalized approach to care.
While medication can be beneficial, also emphasizing holistic treatment plans that address both mental and physical health.
