Overview
I see geriatric patients challenged by experiences common in later life, such as managing a new or progressive medical condition, struggling with memory concerns, or caring for a loved one. Often they have not seen a psychiatrist earlier in life, and I help them navigate appropriate resources and discuss reasonable management and treatment options. The intersection of late-life depression and cognitive symptoms is especially intriguing to me. I am also happy to see older adults with advanced medical comorbidities which may complicate previously stable psychiatric conditions. I offer medication management, supportive psychotherapy, discussions of non-pharmacological interventions for brain health, introductions to local senior centers or support groups, and referrals to other treatment approaches, such as electroconvulsive therapy.
