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.
