Importance and Types of Geriatric Psychological Assessment

Old age is a period marked with significant changes some are physical, and some are mental. Older adults face various challenges in their lives such as cognitive decline, health problems, financial constraints and adapting to significant life changes, including the loss of autonomy and loved one’s. These challenges worsen their situations. Psychological assessments for the elderly are important because they help in diagnosing early signs of mental health issues and allow timely interventions.
