Anxiety in the elderly can be treated with therapy, medication, or lifestyle changes like regular exercise and a healthy routine. A doctor can help find the best approach for your grandmother. For more information, please contact your mental health provider or, if you are in Texas, schedule an appointment with Mid Cities Psychiatry.
Hi, it really depends on the underlying cause, whether it's medical, medication- or substance-related, psychiatric, or cognitive. A psychiatric workup would be prudent because the treatment depends on the correct diagnosis.
