Treatment Options for Seniors
It is not uncommon for elderly men and women to find themselves more emotional in later years, especially after the loss of lifelong friends and the stress of a changing lifestyle. Research shows, in fact, that older people are the group that most often commits suicide. Feeling anxious or down for an extended period of time is not a normal part of growing old. It is advisable to look for the reasons for low moods because many times it is possible to decrease these symptoms.
EMOTIONAL PROBLEMS
With clinical depression or anxiety, a person's ability to function both mentally and physically is affected, and the trouble may last for weeks, months, or sometimes years. Anxiety problems come in the form of phobias, panic attacks, or obsessive/compulsive changes in lifestyle. Both anxiety and depression can impact quality of life, so treatment can help older people get back to their previous state of emotional health
INPATIENT TREATMENT
When inpatient hospitalization is recommended, it will involve evaluating and stabilizing the patient, analyzing medications, and providing therapies based on the recommendations of the treatment team led by the attending physician. This team works to coordinate each patient's individual care, to inform family members, care providers, and the family physician of the individual's progress in treatment.
