My nursing work in long-term care gave me a particular interest in supporting older adults experiencing depression, anxiety, dementia-related behavioral changes and other psychiatric concerns.
Getting older brings real losses and real changes. It should also come with dignity, and with someone who takes the time to listen.
Later in Life
You may have felt low or worried for a while and been told it is just part of aging. That is worth a closer look.
Geriatric mental health is one of my specialties.
What We Can Look At
Later-life concerns often overlap, so the evaluation looks at the whole picture.
Depression
Withdrawal, lost interest, or a low mood that followed a loss or a health change.
Anxiety
New or growing worry, including worry about health, money or being a burden.
Behavioral Changes With Dementia
Agitation, suspicion or other changes that are hard on the person and the family.

How psychiatric medication fits alongside the rest of what someone is taking.
