Geriatrics
Advancing age can be accompanied by difficulties related to managing the stress points of aging (e.g., retirement, the loss of friends and family members, illness and physical decline, etc.). As our population ages, depression, anxiety, and dementias are also increasingly prevalent. Dementias can manifest in memory impairment, difficulty in planning or organization, difficulty with language or communication, difficulty with motor tasks, difficulty recognizing familiar objects, or personality changes.
