Treatments We offer
“Signs & Symptoms of aging are not the same in all people. As a geriatric psychiatrist, my prime purpose is to understand each person’s unique experience and treat their mental and behavioural diseases according to their symptoms – Dr Sanjay Jain
Our treatments are customised according to the individual needs for it to work. Treatment for old age mental disorders includes psychotherapy and medication. We may suggest behavioural therapy, medications, or a combination of both.
Psychotherapy offers the opportunity to speak openly about feelings related to loneliness, sadness, depression, and anxiety within a quiet and relaxed environment.
Medication Management comes with special precautions. Elderly patients are unique because the effects of medicine on their bodies are different compared to those of younger people. As such, Dr. Jain starts off with the lowest possible amount of medication before adjusting it.
Behavioral Therapy is another intervention strategy used to treat behaviors like agitation, insomnia, repetitive actions, and non-compliance to routine activities. In some cases, it eliminates the need for medications completely.
Lastly, Family and Caregiver support plays an important role throughout the treatment journey. Being a caregiver to an older person who suffers from a psychiatric disorder may not always be obvious, but it can still drain you emotionally. Therefore, we make sure that caregivers have all the knowledge they need to manage the situation with ease at home.
