Help for senior citizens

Ageing presents many people with new challenges such as physical illness, changes due to retirement, a change of environment or the loss of a partner or other loved ones. Das Logo des Sozialpsychiatrischen Verbundes

All of these challenges can be triggers for mental illness in senior citizens. However, there are also people who became mentally ill at a younger age and whose illness continues in old age. In addition, with increasing age, there is an ever-increasing risk of a decline in brain capacity and even the development of dementia. Dementia, depression, anxiety disorders, psychoses and dependency disorders are among the most common mental illnesses in old age.

Psychiatric help and support services for senior citizens in Wolfsburg are presented below.
