Who benefits from the Senior Behavioral Medicine
Unit?
Depression, anxiety, and confusion are not "normal" symptoms of aging. They are debilitating conditions that threaten your
well being, your relationships with friends and family, as well as your independence. Recognizing that something is wrong and seeking treatment is so very important. Advances in care, new medications, and the latest knowledge about brain chemistry have made it possible to diagnose and treat problems more quickly and effectively than in the
past.
If you or your loved one, age 55 or older suffers from problems related to your mood, thoughts or behaviors that cannot be safely or effectively treated outside of the hospital, you could benefit from the Senior Behavioral Medicine
Program.
