Geriatric Medicine

This book is a holistic approach to geriatric medicine, taking into account all aspects of ageing. It takes into account not just the treatment of long-term illnesses but also the maintenance of mental clarity, the encouragement of physical health, and the upholding of psychological and emotional health. It covers an abundance of information and helpful advice on a wide range of subjects in the pages that follow, including thorough geriatric assessments, managing geriatric syndromes, older adults' mental health, nutritional considerations, pharmacotherapy, rehabilitation, palliative care, and much more. Strong emphasis is given on a person-centered approach that recognizes the uniqueness of every older adult. This is not a book intended solely for medical practitioners but for ones who have started the adventure of ageing and those who have been there for them at every turn.
