Families & Caregivers
Families and caregivers play a significant role in the lives of their loved ones. AAGP’s resources below are designed to bring together a community of health care providers, administrators, patients and families in partnership to improve the quality, safety, experience and delivery of geriatric mental health care.
About Geriatric Psychiatry
Geriatric psychiatry is a psychiatric sub-specialty that focuses on the biological and psychological aspects of aging. The field is dedicated to understanding the psychiatric symptoms of acute and chronic physical illness, as well as the prevention, evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment of mental and cognitive disorders in older people. Geriatric psychiatrists are committed to the improvement of psychiatric care for older adults.
