All of these reasons and more can lead to severe bouts of depression, suicidal preoccupation and sudden and unexplained changes in behavior in older patients.

short-term inpatient care for older adults suffering from acute psychiatric and behavioral symptoms and crises. Interdisciplinary teams of psychiatrists, nurses, and therapists work with the patients
