Adult & Senior Psychiatry
Psychiatric Care for Adults
With adulthood typically comes an onslaught of stress and challenging situations that may be difficult to handle, regardless of preparedness. Mental health issues affect individuals of all ages and upbringings and should not be stigmatized as unnatural or untreatable. As an adult, you may face mental health concerns due to untreated traumas from childhood, a trauma that has occurred recently, or through the development of a mental health disorder, such as schizophrenia.
Integrated Behavioral Health believes a healthy mind is crucial for living a happy, fulfilling life. Though many people associate aging with mental deterioration, the truth is that your cerebral functions can be maintained with the proper treatment and effort.
Your brain is just like the muscles in your body; as you age, your muscles undergo changes and can weaken due to repeated injuries or usage. Similarly, those muscles can heal and strengthen with the right rehabilitation. We believe that talking to a therapist, participating in psychiatric therapy, or taking prescribed medication is the psychological equivalent to physical training.
Don’t let stress weigh you down or dictate your actions. Treatment is available at IBH.
Psychiatric Care for Seniors
Aging is a natural process that, in some, has unfortunate side effects on the brain. Though dementia and other similar disorders are common in the elderly, they are not a typical part of aging and therefore will not affect everyone. However, many do notice that they are slowing down physically and, at times, mentally as they age. Thankfully, most mental and physical decline can be improved with the use of medication and mental exercises.
Our doctors understand the reality of growing older. Certain afflictions such as Alzheimer’s disease can dramatically affect your life and become debilitating if left unchecked. At IBH, we prescribe medications and suggest helpful games and routines to improve your memory and cognitive acuity. We also understand that elderly people can suffer from other disorders such as depression and anxiety.
Integrated Behavioral Health’s passionate team of doctors will help you deal with the triggers of your stress. The quality of your life and capability of your mind do not have to disappear as you grow older.
