His practice focuses on the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of mental health conditions, adapting evaluations and interventions to the specific needs of each age group. For adults, priority is given to managing conditions such as depression, anxiety, psychotic or personality disorders within the context of their active work, family, and social lives. For older adults, emphasis is placed on a comprehensive geriatric assessment that considers the interplay between chronic medical illnesses, polypharmacy, cognitive impairment (e.g., dementia), geriatric syndromes (delirium, falls), psychosocial factors (grief, isolation), and neurobiological changes inherent to aging. The goal is to preserve functionality, autonomy, and quality of life through adjusted pharmacological therapies (accounting for metabolism and risks) and tailored psychosocial strategies.
