Dr. Samir Patel is a Geriatric Psychiatrist in Medford, MA, USA
Geriatric psychiatry is a subfield of psychiatry that focuses on the mental health needs of elderly patients. As people age, they face a variety of newfound problems, and this often takes a toll on their mental health. In addition, chronic illnesses can have a negative effect on mental processes and emotional processing. With the help of a geriatric psychiatrist, older people can live longer, healthier, and more fulfilling lives as they go through the aging process.
Hospice (Palliative) care patients are those are suffering from a terminal illness. Instead of trying to treat the problem in the hopes that it will go away, the aim of palliative care is to enhance the patients’ quality of life and offer treatments that reduce pain and psychological difficulties. This kind of treatment can begin at any stage in an illness or disease, and it often includes psychiatry and pain and stress-reduction techniques.
