Individual Recovery is our Mission |
Chandras Clinic, P.C. |
Geriatric Psychiatry |
Older adults experience variety of mental health challenges including coping with change, depression, Alzheimer’s and other dementia, alcoholism and drug misuse, death and dying issues, care giving issues, and often family members caring for them have high rate of depression. Even though treatment works, only a small proportion of our elders seek psychiatric care. There is a high risk of suicide in Older Adults.
I will review and evaluate Co-existing medical illnesses, medications, family issues, social concerns, and environmental issues and integrate into a comprehensive psychiatric plan of care for your loved ones.
I offer the flexibility of seeing Older Adults in many settings including their home, Long Term care or nursing home or out of office locations if they are referred by the primary care physician. I would like to work in collaboration with their primary care physician as they often have many medical issues which can complicate their psychiatric presentation.
Please call for enquiries and details of my out of office services or how to arrange a home visit. All my visits have to be prearranged and follow my practice and financial policies.
