June 2025 Geriatric Committee Report  

The Geriatric Psychiatry Committee met three times during the 2024-25 academic year. The September meeting featured a legislative update by Lisa Simonetti and a presentation on Sexual Health in Long-Term Care by Rachael Arielly, PsyD.  In February, co-chair Anderson Chen, MD presented his work on an algorithm for treating generalized anxiety in the older patient. In April, the committee was presented an update on transcranial magnetic stimulation in older patients by Mohit Chopra, MD.  Speakers are currently being scheduled for the upcoming academic year. The Committee looks forward to continuing to be a forum for MPS members with an interest in geriatric psychiatry to network and receive updates on developments in the field. Committee members will also continue to be a resource for MPS legislative efforts relevant to mental health in older patients.
