Adult and Geriatric Psychiatry in Winchester

Our lives are always changing, bringing new joys along with challenges. Retirement gives us more time with family and loved ones, but it can also leave us with a sense of aimlessness. Sending a child off to college brings us a sense of pride, but can also bring about added financial strains. Effectively managing the stress and overwhelming feelings that arise from these challenges is crucial to finding fulfillment in each new chapter of our lives.

Are you experiencing stress or anxiety during a life transition? Do you feel depressed, anxious, unfocused, or struggling with memory? If so, adult and geriatric psychiatry in Winchester can help alleviate these feelings and support you through these tough transitions. Our psychiatry team specializes in managing the mental health needs of adults and seniors as they navigate through life’s more challenging transitions.

The Unique Mental Health Needs of Adults

Adulthood presents some of the most challenging phases of life. As adults, we are more likely to experience the loss of loved ones, which is particularly difficult while working full-time and raising families. We also experience physical challenges as adults and as we age, including slower metabolism and weight gain, hormonal changes associated with perimenopause and menopause, and an altered libido, to name a few. Additionally, we face profound life changes as we grow older. Caring for aging parents, watching our children grow up and leave home, and approaching retirement are significant transitions for which, as a society, we are often unprepared. These phases, and others, all too often lead to exhaustion, anxiety, and depression. Adult-focused psychiatry sessions at our Winchester office can offer some relief and enlightenment.

Seniors face an especially challenging phase in the later years of their lives. The loss of a partner, declining mobility and cognitive function, and the prospect of moving into assisted living or nursing facilities are among the most difficult experiences we can encounter. Older adults are also vulnerable to the complications and side effects of taking multiple medications and, sadly for many, dementia. If these challenges are not adequately addressed, they can take a toll on mental health, potentially leading to worsening psychiatric disorders and diminishing your ability to experience joy and gratitude for the moments that remain.
