As we get older, life changes and there are unique and difficult stressors that can affect our mental health. Add the stresses of a mental health condition such as a mood or personality disorder, dementia, depressive or anxiety disorders or psychosis and it can become overwhelming. Geriatric psychiatric specialists and mental health support staff help you and your loved ones navigate all of these things with counselling, medication management, speech, occupational and physical therapy and holistic care for body and mind.
Often people use substances to self medicate and they develop an addiction. Treatment is offered here for those who are struggling with co existing addictions and mental health concerns.
