I have worked in healthcare for over forty years, twenty of which working as a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner. I love working with folks of all ages with short and long-term mental and physical conditions.

FAQ - About Geriatric Psychiatry
What do geriatric psychiatrists do?
Geriatric psychiatrists specialize in diagnosing and treating mental health conditions rooted in the neurological and cognitive changes of aging, such as dementia, Alzheimer's disease, and mood disorders that may be complicated by cognitive decline. In addition, they help older adults and their families navigate decisions around medications, cognitive functioning, and care planning. Geriatric psychiatrists often collaborate with neurologists, primary care physicians, and other medical specialists to ensure that psychiatric treatment aligns with other components of a client’s care.
How do geriatric psychiatrists assess mental and physical health?
Given their medical training, geriatric psychiatrists are trained to conduct cognitive and neuropsychiatric evaluations that go beyond standard mental health assessments conducted by non-medical professionals, such as therapists. They evaluate memory, attention, executive function, and behavioral changes to distinguish between normal age-related cognitive decline and diagnosable conditions such as Alzheimer's disease or dementia. Because many neurological conditions can initially present with psychiatric symptoms, they also assess how various non-psychiatric medical factors, medications, and brain changes may contribute to a client’s condition. The results of these evaluations can inform treatment planning, including medication management, patient safety considerations, and potential referral to other specialists, such as a neurologist.
How can I find a geriatric psychiatrist?
Psychology Today's online directory helps users find psychiatrists (MDs) and psychiatric nurse practitioners (PMHNPs) who specialize in working with the geriatric population. The platform offers filters to narrow your search by specialty, such as dementia or Alzheimer's. Each provider profile includes detailed information on therapeutic approach, licensure, insurance plans accepted, languages spoken, and session fees, allowing you to assess whether a provider is a good fit.
