A call for a new positive psychiatry of ageing

Dilip V Jeste et al. Br J Psychiatry. 2013 Feb.

Abstract

We propose a new model for geriatric psychiatry to help meet the needs of a rapidly growing population of older adults. This positive old age psychiatry would focus on recovery, promotion of successful ageing, neuroplasticity, prevention, and interventions to enhance positive psychological traits such as resilience, social engagement and wisdom.
