Geriatric Psychiatrist Orlando

Mental health conditions in older adults are common but often underdiagnosed and undertreated. Late-life depression affects up to 15% of seniors, anxiety disorders persist or emerge with aging, and cognitive changes can be difficult to distinguish from normal aging. Older adults also face unique medication challenges — they metabolize drugs differently, take more concurrent medications, and are more susceptible to side effects like falls, confusion, and cardiac complications.

At Empathy Health Clinic, our psychiatrists have experience treating the full range of geriatric psychiatric conditions. We take a careful, conservative approach to medication management in older adults — starting at lower doses, adjusting slowly, and closely monitoring for drug interactions with existing prescriptions. We coordinate with your primary care physician and other specialists to ensure safe, effective, and integrated care.

Whether you are a senior seeking care for yourself or a family member helping a loved one, we provide a welcoming, respectful environment where older adults feel heard and supported.
