Geriatric
Geriatrics, or older adulthood, refers to the stage of life generally beginning at 60 years and above. This phase often brings retirement, lifestyle changes, health challenges, and shifts in family and social roles. While it can be a time of reflection, leisure, and fulfilment, older adults may also experience emotional and mental health challenges that affect quality of life. Mental well-being plays a key role in helping seniors cope with physical changes, maintain independence, and stay socially and emotionally connected.
Common Issues and Concerns
When to Seek Therapy
Therapy can be valuable whenever life feels overwhelming or emotional challenges interfere with daily routines. Seniors may consider seeking therapy if they notice prolonged sadness, heightened anxiety, difficulty coping with grief, or feelings of disconnection from others. Through therapy and targeted interventions, older adults can learn to manage their emotions, develop practical coping strategies, and gradually improve their mental and emotional well-being. Professional support provides a safe and non-judgmental space to express feelings, build resilience, and address challenges such as major life transitions, chronic illness, sleep or memory concerns, and social disengagement. With consistent guidance, seniors can enhance their quality of life and lead a more balanced, fulfilling, and meaningful existence.
