As individuals age, they may face unique mental health challenges that require specialized care. Geriatric psychiatry focuses on the diagnosis, treatment, and management of psychiatric conditions in older adults, including delirium, dementia, and depression. At Limbic Circuit Behavioral Health, we are committed to providing compassionate and comprehensive care for older adults, helping them navigate these complex conditions with dignity and support.
Delirium is a sudden, severe decline in cognitive function, often triggered by an illness, medication, or infection. It can cause confusion, memory problems, and changes in behavior, and it requires prompt intervention. Dementia, including Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of cognitive decline, is a progressive condition that affects memory,
thinking, and behavior over time. Depression in older adults, while common, often goes undiagnosed because it can be mistaken for other health issues, leading to prolonged suffering.
Our team of geriatric psychiatrists and specialists provides thorough evaluations to accurately diagnose these conditions and determine the most appropriate course of treatment. We work closely with families and caregivers to develop personalized care plans that address both the medical and emotional needs of older adults.
For individuals with dementia or cognitive decline, we focus on symptom management, including strategies to maintain cognitive function and improve quality of life. We also provide support for behavioral and psychological symptoms, such as agitation, aggression, and anxiety. For those dealing with depression, we offer a combination of psychotherapy and medication management to reduce symptoms and enhance emotional well-being.
In addition to medication management, we incorporate interventions like cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and family counseling to support both the individual and their caregivers. Our goal is to provide holistic care that enhances the quality of life, preserves independence as much as possible, and ensures that older adults receive the support they need to thrive.
At Limbic Circuit Behavioral Health, we understand the unique challenges faced by older adults and their families. Our geriatric psychiatry services are designed to provide compassionate, expert care to help manage and alleviate the effects of delirium, dementia, and depression.
